It does but that’s not what a large scale scalable corp is trying to achieve. You want as many participants as possible enjoying themselves for as long as possible.

Sure, but that influence has not exactly been positive. That's the catch I think. It's much easier to exert negative influence than positive influence.

Influence is just a tool to effect change upon people at scale.

It’s a tool, it can be used for good or evil. I’ll leave the subjective analysis to others but I think tools are rare just good or bad.

It’s not that simple. Tribalism is easy and most considered a net negative. Tribalism is easy to sell because it’s ingrained in humans. That’s what 4chan does, pick the lowest hanging fruit.

Imagine living a primitive life in a cave or the woods, you eat berries and kill small animals and cook by a campfire.

Do you really think joining up with other primitive humans in a small tribe would be a negative experience on your life?

Friends and allies would be helpful.

Tribalism is an essential human social method that got humanity to this point!
