That’s what I felt yesterday… I was like “why fighting so hard for the right to send something the other people won’t see”, citing freedom and non censoring as the reason… made no sense.
Then it hit me. Likes are a commodity… aggregated data about them can be sold. Then yes, I can understand people getting shitty about losing a commodity they intended to sell.
Dopamine is the other argument… just so used to the feedback loop.
