If all they are interested in is maximum engagement, let them stay on Reddit!
I’m here for community and real conversations, not “karma”
Engagement is not karma. If you’re really into conversations, you should try to reach as many people as possible to get as many views as possible. Or are you content speaking to the same three people all the time?
The problem with that idea is that once you reach a certain number of people you stop getting diverse views and just get the same type of views over and over. Large groups on a platform like Reddit prioritise fast and popular responses. Quick quips and memes posted by people who are spending all day scrolling will drown out any sort of reasoned argument that takes time to type and participation by people who only log in occassionally.
