They’re about to test the load-bearing capacity of all your normie friends and all the cool celebrities/hot thirst traps being on there. The end goal is a slot machine which shows only ads almost all the time, occasionally delivering a payoff of social or parasocial connection to someone you care about, but only enough to keep the majority of users hooked.
