The line has to go up.

More engagement = more views = more ads = more money for the shareholders

Doesn't matter how that engagement is generated, whether it's human content or AI trash.

Late stage capitalism is hell.

Science: "Look, we're destroying the earth, and this graph explains it."

Shareholders: "Great job. Now for the next fiscal year, line must go up, so continue what you're doing if you want to keep your job to survive, else, we'll take our money and give it to someone who can make the line go up."
