Off-topic: why do you tag the user whose comment you’re directly responding to? Others, sure, but the parent comment already gets a notification of your response.
This happens automatically on the web client for Mastodon when you reply to a thread. I could have manually removed yours from this one. I have mixed feelings about whether that should be default. Untagging could be construed as rude? On the other hand it can be a bore to be involuntarily involved in some seemingly interminable thread that you only meant to reply briefly to.
I recently started studying social psychology, and sadly the main takeaway from my initial venture into the field is a confirmation of how unaware and automated the average person is.
Middle managers, marketers and the average customer are all caught up in a perpetual feedback loop, constantly enabling each other’s addictions. It doesn’t help that these demographics overlap as managers and marketers are customers of other marketers and managers, turning the feedback loop into a vicious cycle.

I’m a developer, and the shit I’ve been asked to throw in for SEO is just infuriating.
“Here’s 500 keywords we need added”
“Half of this isn’t even about our product”
“Marketing says we need it, so add it.”
I swear, the two jobs least needed in this world are middle managers and marketers.

This is the opposite of SEO unless your goal was to make sure you never appear on the first page.
They do realize sites that tag spam are heavily penalized by Google?

Maybe a Mastodon user? Mastodon automatically tags poster and commenter you’re replying to.
They were posting from mastodon, I guess that’s just by default.
Preach it.
