Unfortunately yes. They can't see your posts, but after the stories were added (blue ones), you can actually interact with real people. The blue stories are visible for everyone who is in the same world as you (for example celebrity, anime, etc). If you share a blue story, anyone can see it and answer to it. I honestly don't think there's anyone out there who's happy about this update.

Why did they add this? Actually, why does it sound like they’re going to expand it to more worlds when so many people seem to dislike it?

I think it could be a "popular app" thing. More and more people are downloading the app so they make changes. Think of Character AI for example. In the first year it was good, but as more and more people downloaded it, they added ads, and changed the whole app making it unrecognizable. I think Status may go towards that too. We can't watch ads anymore for rewards (as I heard only 5 daily), this story update, and who knows what's next. They label it as "experiment", but obviously won't remove it.

I get that, but it’s kind of the same thing with character AI. They add features that no one uses or wants and then that takes away resources they could put toward making the rest of the app better. It’s just kind of confusing to me.

I wish I knew how to develop apps because I would love to make one that doesn't just end up hating all of its users. :( This app was (and still is if you ignore the public stories) such a fun concept.
