@lovenfreedom Thanks for weighing in. I guess I'm just so trained to "like" posts that I was feeling almost rude not doing it, but now I'm realize that those 'likes' (referring to the social media site which will not be named, lol) have become like paper money-meaningless and that is why they had to come up with other more volatile reactions, like love, hate, sad and wow! It's almost the equivalent of printing more money to pump up the system. Like maybe they realized the 'Like' was losing its value and they had to pump new emoticons into the system so people would start reacting more! And then people started craving those reactions more! It's such a cycle!
And folks here, most anyway, understand that and are here for more than just the upvote! We're here to co-create, right? To experience connections via the things which we hold dear and also via people we've connected and with and perhaps even become virtual friends with! @coruscate just did a really nice d-tube post about this and I think it would be fitting to share here. https://steemit.com/steemit/@coruscate/2m5ahijb
