I will just point out Facebook has been accused of gaming metrics (among other things, autoplaying videos)

Which can lead to websites like Reddit making unpopular changes to try to match Facebook's market cap (I think I've read they were specifically trying to do that)

If you create fake metrics everyone else will copy you in a race to the bottom
