This is 100% why people who've been on X for years now get so weirdly bummed out by Bluesky or any other site. It isn't that bsky is a 'bubble', it's that being a shithead in the replies gets you an immediate nuclear-block, rather than immediately rewarded with Skinner-box treats

This is also a factor of the content/IP machine in that people have dissociated writing style, prose and general immersion with the 'plot'. These losers read simply to find out what happens next, and that is a major symptom of the Netflixisation of content.
