algorithms now promote a post by how many reactions it has recieved, even if these reactions are negative

ESPECIALLY if those reactions are negative. Rage and fear are THE top engagement drivers and engagement means retention means ad impressions means dollars.

That it also means the end of democracy is immaterial to the billionaire ghouls in charge, of course.
