It is a not-that-obscure secret that most posts on Moltbook, particularly the "Viral™" ones, are written by a human.

Does Mark not know this?

I know there's a big advantage in capturing the market early, but in this case Moltbook hasn't captured any of it ...

Weird. With Meta's backing it is going to be successful anyway, but this is something they could have developed in-house in like a weekend.

Sure they could develop it in a weekend, so could anyone else. but once a product has the initial userbase, that's not something a competitor can just copy. user acquision is the limiting factor to success, not writing code.

When a company gets this big it no longer nurtures the freedom, independence, or ambition to innovate. They grow structures to stifle it.

I don't think you understand why moltbook is popular. It has incredible utility for those who are actually using it every day.
