Except that nobody is getting paid for engagement here, so that's not "driving engagement" so much as it's "a feature that people want".

You can drive engagement without money changing hands.

  That may be a secondary effect, but it's neither the intention nor the goal of "really notifications" on fediverse.

    But this is exactly the effect I'm pointing out. You say:
    
    More engagement here is less engagement elsewhere, where profits and data mining and surveillance are priorities.
    
    And you're describing "here" in terms that are appealing to anti-AI sentiment and "elsewhere" as being the opposite. Whether the effect is "secondary" or not, it's still an effect.
