You're definitely right that the motivation behind a tweet, or a "like", or in this case a "cheer" is narcissistic. However, I don't think that makes a difference. Your observation is just that, an observation. Psychologists have made observations of this nature about human behavior already. If there was no common, narcissistic behavior amongst humans, then the word "narcissism" would never have been invented. Furthermore, we would never have developed a concept of narcissism at all. With that said, we all do narcissistic things. Narcissism is only a problem when it gets out of control. That is why we have expert psychologists and psychiatrists to take care of this, and define what is and is not an acceptable level of narcissism (in the DSM-IV definition for narcissistic personality disorder) Sure, there are reasons to be for, or against narcissistic behavior. If you like, you can personally hate narcissism every time you see it. But if you are so quick to jump the gun and call this novel little app "narcissistic" and declare you don't like it, because you must hold yourself to some higher moral standard, then you are probably very, very blind to much of your own narcissistic behavior. We are all narcissistic. Some of us are more narcissistic than others, and some of us are more aware of our own personalities than others. The bottom line is that regardless of the motivation for "cheering" (liking, or any other form) something, the end result is likely going to be fun times clicking shiny buttons for everyone, so just live it up.
