That makes sense. Thanks.

They aren't producing anything. They're reposters, not content creators.
A lot of the "interesting" posts on Reddit were created by bots. A LOT of bots.
I've heard about Lemmy for a while, and I just joined after getting permanently banned for "threatening violence" after posting "nice sub here" in a new subreddit. I wish I were joking, but it personally doesn't surprise me that much when considering my past experiences. The appeal was denied.
Reddit's most dedicated and longstanding users can only tolerate so many nonsensical and frivolous permanent account bans over the years before they flock to that beautiful forest sprouting up across the river. Lemmy should continue to grow because people like me intend to be here for the life of it.
My last few months on Reddit were spent tracking bot accounts, and taking note of suspicious patterns of certain subreddits refusing to take action against blatant propaganda bots. I'm glad to be past that, at least for now, and I wish the users I'm leaving behind luck. Things were nuts.
Excuse my sorry Texan ass, but the idea of denying someone gun ownership just because they had a bad breakup or don't have a social circle is wonk to me.
The best part about this is that the licensing and all the other fees probably make it profitable to run, meaning they're bottle-necking both on purpose and at their own expense.
