tracking is one concern.

More importantly it's about not participating.

Because the hive mind is real: if you have a dissonant opinion you will be shunned down. And if you have a widespread opinion you will never consider questioning it. None of those are good for mental health, and critical thinking. The easiest solution, is to not play the game.

But the real reason: Once you log in, you can ONLY see 50 subs. By lurking you can see as many subs as you want (I follow 100+)
