You've misspelled capitalism.

It's a gray line, as the drive for celebrity isn't strictly capitalist but is definitely rewarded under capitalism.

Anything bad == capitalism.

I meant "the algorithm", that the parent comment mentions. Designing an algorithm that is driven by clickrate in order to gain more ad revenue is motivated by capitalistic forces.

I highly doubt a social network would ever lack incentive for increased engagement (via shock value and toxicity or otherwise) in a non-capitalist society.

They may gain popularity, societal influence, or whatever else instead of money. They’re still motivated to deepen that connection.
