A lot of consumer tech companies' entire business model is "growth and engagement" which is basically arbitrage between what the investors/advertisers will pay and what it costs them to produce this "engagement". Any useful output produced by the system is a mere side-effect and the bare minimum necessary for to get the victims to "engage".
