Maybe it’s just a volume thing

Yes. Once a certain volume and popularity has been reached Eternal September happens and mainstream users flood in carrying alot of opinions, followed by companies who want to advertise to those new users.

How that works in a federated system is going to be interesting. There is no central site or node. Maybe there will be a separate commercial federation network.
