I don’t get it.

If gravity is a force of entropy, why does gravity cause things to be attracted to each other - that seems less entropic rather than more.

I don't think attraction is the correct term. I think in terms of "weight". The earth is not pulling you towards it but rather space is pushing you down towards its cog.

universe starts as singularity - more entropy - less gravity - things move apart - universe expands.
