I'll do it for you, Bernie.
No
But saying anything on the internet is too scary... :(
So brave of you to say what we all only dare to think
Fuck off, cunt-ass engagement farmer.

Better a lurker than a shitposter
I guess, if you say so.
Hey I even upvote sometimes!

Hey!
I am here, my friend 🙋♂️
What's so bad about being a lurker?
It doesn't really generate activity. Basically any platform would prefer to have more comments to generate activity, which in some cases moves content across various algorithms, but also makes the platform look well active and involved. Having an active looking platform can make others want to sign up and join. I'm sure there's potentially other reasons.
That said, I think it's fine to lurk and should be promoted more. Sometimes it's better to spend time focusing on articulating your thoughts and writing your posts than it is just writing more posts overall, and sometimes there isn't much to add to a topic.
Half the time I post a comment trying to contribute in some way but get downvotes so I'm scared to post any comments.
Additionally, I never post news articles I see because if the content of the news is bad (eg a news article about something bad google is doing), Ive seen others and myself get downvotes
Counterpoint: By posting things that get downvoted, you still contributed and added to the discussion by exposing people to a viewpoint divergent from the ones they perceive normaly.
Or your contributions are just shit takes. That could be the case too. /s
