Social media is on the decline. Instagram is all ads. No one's posting on BeReal. TikTok is for influencers. The new place for sharing: group chats.

Seems extremely unlikely. There's very little reach on here compared to elsewhere. It's not easily quantifiable nor can it be easily verified. It's extremely easy to hack metrics. There's no business sense to pay someone for posts on the fediverse yet. Don't be paranoid and don't become conspiratorial.

Edit: added "yet" because those things could possibly change.
