This is what happens when you launch with no content discovery features, so you have to whore yourself out and follow anyone and everyone if you want to get any attention. "Content creators" and clout chasers are the primary customer of this service, so without that I don't know why they'd want to use it.

"Minimum Viable Product" has been a curse on the industry for so long. This is the clearest example of its failure

No hashtags, no full text search. Just an algorithmic feed and a following feed, and you can only search users.

That's...really bad 😭 Even Mastodon allows you to search by hashtags (I know it supports full-text search but most instances turn that off because it's pricey)
