The latter. George Takei makes Facebook money by making it more engaging. Facebook wants more celebrities to see what George Takei is doing so they do it too.

- waterfowl 12y agoSure this is good for facebook cause pageviews but all the Takei shares that show up on my feed are almost invariably reddit frontpage reposts. I guess he adds volume to facebook, but it's not very quality volume imo, if anyone else shared the stuff he did, it wouldn't collect thousands of upvotes/likes/etc. Plus if he really has a staff doing it, then the whole "wow what a zany old man who is "relevant" and reads reddit/9gag/wherever people think the content comes from" thing kinda falls apart.
