I agree but it's also that the posts that I see as low quality engagement bait are also highly upvoted in sats.

E.g. "discussion" posts that are really just link posts with one comment sentence and an oversimplified populist/clickbait headline.

It seems like people just simply like the low quality high quantity posts in terms of sats. It might be less bad in terms of number of stackers but I'm not sure more weighting towards that would actually be more than a small improvement.
