I think people need to read this part especially, get ready for the greeds to come in. It's happening already and it's going to get worse.

We’re still in the very early days of the fediverse, and it’s going to be messy for a while. It might feel like you’re seeing the same posts too many times, and like you see some posts that obviously weren’t meant to be seen in the app or feed you’re using. Some particularly thirsty influencers are going to go hard on cross-posting tools that threaten to clutter up all your feeds everywhere and become totally unavoidable. This is not a problem with the protocols; it’s an opportunity for better products. There’s plenty of money to be made in the fediverse, and plenty of space for new products to take off.

That's really the entire article. "Yeah, for now its run by hippies who care about privacy and run servers out of a sense of civic duty, but we can fix that"
