You chose to commodify your social interactions. Someone shares affection and your immediate thought is "How can I profit socially and financially from this."
Why share it at all?
Discussion
Fair criticism. Though, why not do it? Does it cheapen it? Does it enhance its value?
Perhaps both.
Why not turn genuine human interaction into a commodity?
Serious question?
Yes of course it cheapens it.
ALL that "friend" is to her is a means to acquire zaps.
Sharing positive things is just as important is being critical and voicing concerns. Life is dynamic. Something made me happy. Why is sharing that commodification but being critical is somehow righteous?
There is literally no reason to share your personal life with the internet except to commodify it and dehumanize yourself as a product to be bought and sold for currency and social approval.
hardest takes
dear Alana,

*gives away sats* - โwhoreโ
*posts a sweet thing from my day * - โwhoreโ
*writes a long form post about the direction of social media* - โwhoreโ
You do all of those things for zaps and social credit.
You need to get laid lol
Simp.
Meanwhile Iโve been doing those things since 1995 with no incentive for many years and Iโm a digital strategist for emerging tech companies.
โWhoreโ
But you are our โwhoreโ and we love you ๐
Everyone loves a whore๐ง๐ซ๐คก
It must be frustrating dealing with people who have only hate in their heart to share with others. Keep sharing the flowers! Make the world a better place. Give more than you get. Sometimes all we need is an encouraging word, a beautiful picture, or a mesmerizing song to brighten our day.
Be the change you wish to see!
Sometimes best is to take the 10 000 feet approach, from height you cannot see those small wiggling haters and they just disappear ๐๐ท๐
Bam! ๐ฝ
๐๐๐ Iโm dying
The criticism wouldโve been valid if you had mentioned zaps, but you didnโt so youโre off the hook this time. Case closed.
Agreed
