Slightly ranty question: if you earn money by working on social media, it's your job to capitalize (maximize engagement) on any platform you find, including platforms which weren't made to be capitalized, which can generate annoying results. Do you think such a thing should be allowed? Weigh in your opinions!
I agree it would suck if somebody did that, or if people routinely do that, but I don't think it should be illegal or against ToS or whatever. First, that would be too totalitarian. It kind of reminds me of Brazil's recent law that illegalized lying. Or that dream I once had of the future which, among other properties, had the attribute that insulting people was illegal. And 2. there could never be a clear and objective way of saying when somebody's posts were merely or primarily aimed at maximizing engagement. That's totally a judgment call.
