It speaks to the fact that things that are most beneficial to Google have been finetuned to exploit eyeballs and pocketbooks. If they wanted to, or if their hand was forced, they’d be able to do the things that benefit the greater good.
Don’t get started with the “it’s a slippery slope” kind of shit. Short of living in some society where it’s every man for himself, kids shouldn’t be playing lotteries

It also helps that there’s no counterparty risk with the like button. I don’t think anyone is trying to “trick” that feature, and it wouldn’t matter if they did.
