1) to satisfy investors, companies require continual growth in engagement and users
2) the population isn't rocketing upwards on a year-over-year basis
3) the % of the population that is online has saturated
4) there are only so many hours in the day
Inevitably, in order to maintain growth in engagement (comments, posts, likes, etc.), it will have to become automated. Are we there already? Maybe. Regardless, any system which requires continual growth has to automate, and the investor expectations for the internet economy require it, and therefore it has or soon will automate.
Not saying it's not bad, just that it's not surprising.
