Thanks for reading, @riverflows! Yes, I think you're right - a higher-value post in $ terms may indeed attract more people. Kind of like a busy restaurant. You just know there's something good about it if there are so many patrons. I suppose bots are like paying people to come to your restaurant!
Thanks for the welcome!
Yes!!! A perfect analogy!! Like, I'll always eat at the restaurant in another country that's loaded with people...
