The difference here is that it doesn't reward engagement. The reward is the engagement.

But still, it’s funneling in content where the premise is gaming the system for engagement. It brings all that toxicity here, even if it doesn’t directly affect the original source on Twitter or wherever.

A great example is this, #5 on Lemmy.world’s front page for me:

And it’s from a freaking Tech Bro. A straight up engagement farmer, if not bot written itself. Is the irony not obvious?
