There is a lot of ***kissing on this site to generate votes without any real context or meaning. I see countless posts about meaningless topics with even more meaningless posts ... but almost no views and a huge amount of upvotes... Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying all content is bad here, but it's pretty obvious... the vast majority of posts are crafted to generate clicks without any real value or information. The idea of monetizing social interaction creates this undeniable temptation to post content just because it may generate profit.. not because it reflects their true opinion on the subject matter. I wonder how many posts would not have been made, if there was no outlook for profit but the sheer intention of social interaction and building a real community . Everyone is so "nice" and almost nobody wants to create any controversy in order to maximize their potential profit. This creates an unbearable new level of circle jerking and defeats the entire purpose of social media. Ask yourself... do you really post your opinion or do you post in a manner, which sole purpose is to generate profit/clicks/followers? I guess it's not just about attention-whoring anymore but the additional prospect of profit, which highly distorts the entire idea of this platform. This may sound like a "personal" attack for many users on this platform, but why are you here? To create some profit or to interact and be part of a community.
Damn, you see right through my evil moneymaking scheme!
But yeah I do agree, I just don't know how you'd fix it, since it is a social media site and the more people the more crap gets posted. I've said this a few times but I think there should be an option to rate the quality of a post out of 5 or 10. It would just help separate the good from the mediocre
Yeah, I've noticed as well, lots of mindless posts that generate heavy replies.
