felix had a really good argument about how numbers fuck with people minds on social media and make people do stupid shit, and that is my stance on this numbers create this space where both post are trying to become like the sucessful ones as the like and rts feel good in ou heads so they become plain and repetitive and also you just start comparing with bigger posters like it also happens a lot with reddit too
Even on really chill sites like this I feel that. The reptile brain "I have successfully collected berries" satisfaction to seeing a bunch of upbears on my posts is stronger that it has any right to be.
like our dumb brains are not ready to deal with the whole billions of people we can be seen by because of internet like i have social phobia so it does not get too me as much because i am bad at this but i also feel that i will change a bit on a title here if my brain thinks that i will get more of those sweet chacha points but at least they don't put a fucking public total points like reddit does that is way worse because you can compare on spot with anyone
also twitter is real bad like i got a 10 year twitter account notification this year and twitter over the years has been using their algorithm to make this more and more of the norm like for example if let's say felix likes a tweet or reply this is pretty likely to appear at his followers' feed so if you are aware of this replying to them is pretty mucha safe bet now because you can either do the clout shit or just engage and that will generate more engagement and the quote tweet thing becoming the norm it is just about engagement and numbers now

I agree, and I'm glad we don't track karma.
