My dopamine response system has apparently never bought into the idea that likes actually determine my value in any way. I seem just use them to see what specific friends or colleagues are interested in and invite them for a specific activity. Vegetarian? Invite them for pizza not a BBQ. Outdoorsy? See if they want to go skiing or hiking some time. Based on what I see and hear I feel pretty lucky.
- ImaCake 8y agoIf you are actually using likes as useful data points for meaningful action you are way ahead of most people. To me, and I imagine many others, likes are just a passive acknowledgement of popularity with only wafer thin meaning. Not doing anything with those likes is part of what makes them such a problem and one of many reasons I avoid social media.
