Message: [QUOTE="Rallywagon, post: 12235187, member: 198911"] I, like Joey, use likes here to show general agreement with what a person has posted. For the most part i do on FB as well, which is the only other form of social media that i am active on. YT i omit because i dont bother with their cancerous comment section. I just go for the articles... sorry, videos.... I do use the like button a little more liberally on FB. For pictures and whatnot, but i only have friends and family on my facebook as well. I was never one to try and achieve some sort of high score on my friends list. I dont need a bunch of smucks i dont know validating my internet life. Like others. I dont really check my notifications for likes, just to see if conversations have continued to move along oor of something I've said has been quoted. Same on Facebook. However, getting likes is a quick, cheap, dopamine hitter. I definitely can see how it becomes a problem for some people. double so if someone you perceive as important likes or reply in kind to a post of yours. Not sure how someone prone to getting hooked on likes avoids it though, aside from dumping social media altogether. [/QUOTE]
