I think likes in general is a tricky thing - I normally don't go rund and give a lot of complements as the likes could be an equivalent to. When we invest a lot of time and energy we get a disharmony if the likes/upvotes doesn't reach our expectations. Steemit is a huge experiment in that sense - mixing likes and money. I think it is interesting and have lots of potential for people to co-create and bond but I think the system is bound to create a lot of unhappiness a jealousy too. Thanks for bringing up an interesting topic!

It certainly is. I joined because I saw the insanely high potential rewards on the trending pages. Sure, it was 21 months ago... But still. People need to realize that Steemit is about money, but it's not all about it. Once they understand the true potential, they'll also be even more successful in the long haul. At least that's what I believe.
well said! :)
