Yes.

Likes are a dopamine

Social media is a dopamine dealer.

People are not used to aprreshiating value for value.

The user gets a dopamine hit when liking because they feel benevolent. The one receiving a like gets a dopamine hit from the apprehension.

This is all Keynesian economics where our dopemine receptors get the "inflation" of free printed likes. They burn out.

I'm here because I like to have a cost associated with a dopamine hit. Its better for society.
