From a capitalistic point-of-view, congrats to Midnight Labs for successfully repeatedly pivoting until something stuck. From a cultural point-of-view, I'm afraid for my (future) kids.
- aqsheehy 9y agoAnonymous compliments seem nice to me, am I missing something?
- quadrangle 9y agoYou're missing very nearly everything. Even anonymous compliments are not just nice. They can be awkward or add to self-consciousness or to self-absorbed narcissism. It all depends on the details. A sincere, meaningful compliment about some actual achievement (as opposed to some random trait that is fixed) can be wonderful. TBH has none of that though. But TBH does have a lot of bad things that normal anonymous compliments never have. When anonymous compliments require signing up for a service just to get anonymous compliments from your peers with the understanding that you do the same, you create an entire social context where all the benefits of an actually natural complement are eliminated and replaced with an addictive, data-mining and actually negative for mental health situation.
