All social media is transactional.  It's all an influence game.  At least here the value of influence is more direct.  Other platforms make all their money off the backs of the creators who make the content advertisers can pair their ads with and the creators are lucky if they get a trickle through some performance bonus program or if they manage to find some other way to monetize that works for them.
