I don't think there's something wrong with you. I also think there's nothing wrong with people sharing _interesting_ stuff, whether they do it ultimately for shallow likes or for ... you know... just sharing _interesting_ stuff.
On a side note, I get the "entitlement" from nobody. I take it. I also mean that in the best way possible. Nobody's asking for my software, my (future) articles, my point of view, etc. Still, I make stuff and sometimes share stuff. I think it can be a net value for some people (definitely not for everyone). This is only the reasoning behind it, the main motivator was me realizing I matter as a human being and I have only one life to live. I learned that because of experiencing a 'dark night of the soul' a couple of years back. Luckily I got through. And to be honest, if it wasn't for the internet - made up of personal websites and real people sharing their own experience on forums - that taught me everything there is to know about Cluster B disordered personalities (just an example, cough nothing personal cough), I don't think I would be sitting here typing this lengthy response.
I realized I can not sit back, enjoy the decline of the internet, and only complain about it. I would love to see the web have a lot of personal websites and blogs about every kind of subject, so I started to build a website software. The web/internet, and all the information shared and made easily accessible, made me able to save myself. I was probably helped more by some random dude who put up a website fifteen years ago with everything he knew about certain stuff than I was helped by anything else.
