Especially because you know a bunch of people will pay for it.

I'd rather have those who get high off this kind of attention satisfy that need with a bot than foster in echo chambers, which is what usually happens.

So, let bots controlled by mega tech corps and vicious governments brainwash these people, rather than other ignorant humans who don’t, at least not by definition, have ulterior motives?

Honestly, we should crowdfund a subscription for certain prominent folks. It’d be crack cocaine for some of the influencers and whatnot out there.

Influencers are drug dealers, not drug users, and they're in this for the money, not for the high.

Not everyone listens to ‘don’t get high on your own supply’. In fact, it’s pretty rare.

Maybe at the very top, but the middle is full of wannabees looking to be a rockstar for the clout/popularity.

In order to get money. Hardly anyone cares for this kind of popularity just for the sake of it, but a lot of kids these days dream of the money and lifestyle they see from top influencers.
