The practice of creating content for attention, views, and ad revenue is often referred to as clout chasing, engagement farming, or ragebaiting.

Political creators who focus on attention and monetization take these tactics to an extreme. Because politics naturally ties into people’s core identities and morals, it is the most lucrative and explosive subject for driving engagement.

That’s true but FR is authentic. No AI posts from me or engagement farming, shilling etc (to what ends?).

I like the discussion here but it’s interesting how opposite it is elsewhere.
