They need all those employees because apparently there is not really any algorithm at work... An insider leaked at some point on Reddit a while back that there are just a bunch of people applying back end controls on each user account to limit their posting activity in one of a few ways, and when I saw it it did a lot to ease my mind about how the erratic way Twitter works. I personally think that some accounts simply get shadowbanned for life unless they pass the "money making controversial post attention" threshold.
Smoke and mirrors and pay-for-play have completely corrupted social media now since the pandemic. "Success" on social platforms depends on how much you can afford to pay for it.
I understand everyone has bills to pay, but these services started out as free services and converted stealthily and at times deceptively into paid services, and that shouldn't be just overlooked or given a pass.
