RE: Why the Most Popular Posts on Steemit are About Steemit!

in #steem7 years ago (edited)

So I first speculated that upvotes for Steemit articles were a response to this being a supportive and positive community, and I still do.... but the more I think about it, the more the fanaticism about any positive news concerning Steemit reminds me of over the top religious communities. Ever been in an uber Christian community? Anyone who attributes their success, their health, or any shred of good fortune to God is praised for being an upstanding servant of God and a defender of the faith.... it's simply CONFIRMATION BIAS. They want so badly to believe they're right and will laud anyone or anything who helps them reaffirm the belief that they are.
