Yes, but it can also be argued that the higher the number of users, the higher the chances of insightful discussions taking place. We have a reason to rejoice at this surge as more users generally means more frequent engagement with all the content here, which itself fosters further and deeper engagement.

I think part of the reason this is working for me so well, is that I’m not being encouraged to passively doom-scroll by an algo that knows exactly how to keep me just the right amount of engaged, but never satisfied.
