The magical step is the final step in the argument. The algorithm does seemt to increase engagement altogether, but people's negativity bias will give more weight in ones' mind to the harrassing comments. The algo does incentivize replies it seems, which could potentially be negative, given people don't reply to positive things beyond to like or RT them, so that's an argument in their favor. Of course, most people don't notice this. I've never had a post with more than 100 replies for example, so I would have never been aware of this.
