While I do agree with that, people are used to likes, coming from other platforms. When I get 25 reactions but see only 1, I easily get the impression this place is not worth my time as nobody interacts with me, notices my content etc, and go back to Bluesky/Xitter/Zuckerberg.
Right, but the people that care about likes on Xitter/IG/Tiktok care about them because they can become eligible for monetizing on those platforms. Likes have nothing to do with monetization here. They’re pointless bullshit metrics here, and it’s meaningless to encourage their use here.
Really? I don't know. When I do a shitpost and it gets 20 likes I at least know it was recognized. Doesn't have to do anything with monetization.
Depends on the person I guess. You’re living under a rock though if you think most people who are serious about using social media these days aren’t thinking about monetization in some form.
I some what agree and somewhat disagree.
But I agree more with your content, less with your lack off acceptance for how bad the sheeple are. But do we really want them here anyway?
