Engagement is digital hierarchy
Likes, followers, reach, views, ratios — these become status markers.

Not truth markers.
Not value markers.
Not wisdom markers.

Status markers.

Which recreates:
class structures
influence ladders
elite visibility
social stratification

Only now it’s algorithmic instead of institutional.

So people begin to think:

If I’m not being seen, I must not matter.

That’s hierarchy logic embedded into psychology.
