When I see a big clusterfuck of a demon thread, my emotional response is “Yay! I can get lots of stimulation from this! People will talk to me!”
Huh, I thought I’d originally touched on this motivation (that I experience myself), but it looks like I ended up editing it out of the OP. (Although it looks like I ended up saying it in a comment to Ozy)
(I have some thoughts about when Demon Threads are the right tool for the job. I actually designed this post in a fashion intended to prompt a controlled, carefully summoned benign demon thread that would get engagement without [much] hurt feelings)
I do like your suggestions here of “when you just want the engagement and don’t have particular other goals in mind, here are social media party things you can do instead”.
