@deftdrummer@GenBlob for many in the fediverse just a proof of concept is enough for them, but normies aren’t interested in virtual cogs and what language it’s coded in, just is there a critical mass of active users and interesting content. Click bait works, because it attracts a large audience (anything that didn’t wouldn’t be used as bait), niche platforms will not generate large audiences and large platforms will always be susceptible to being exploited for ad revenue.
