What social media is selling are dopamine hits. Putting out hate and getting people worked up scores you a small dopamine hit. Getting an honest sounding compliment and having a stranger show interest and appreciation in something you are secretly very proud of, gets you an instant massive dopamine hit, followed by more little hits every time you remember the compliment.
So true. In a related tangent, without this, Fox News would have only ever been another shitty cable channel. I've been forced to watch it a few times by virtue of being in a place I couldn't leave, and it's full of this shit: words or pictures provoking anger, anger, anger, praise, fear, anger, anger, etc.
It's no wonder the watchers of it can't get off it: the world must feel very empty if you've been on a careening subliminal emotional rollercoaster of media intake for however long.
It is so easy manipulating idiots. The best part is manipulating others for good, not to gain leverage, but manipulate for the benefit of all, greater good like.
I don’t get hate DM’s but I do get an occasional message saying good things about my music when I post something. Then it turns out to be a scammer or someone offering whatever social media marketing scheme (which is probably a scam too).
That's so annoying. I'm going to start an anti-scamming fund. Any money you donate to this fund is guaranteed to not be used to benefit a scammer until it has been spent at least once more!

Men so starve to compliments that they turn instant friends when you tell them that the generic black shirt they wearing fit them really good.
...Is this tech? I should be nicer
But give real compliments, don’t say something you don’t mean
That's a really great tip, thanks man.
The compliment I got from someone that said she thought my dimples were cute has been giving me strength for the past decade.
Bonus:
Activated charcoal isn't good for your enamel or mouth health in general, so I hope he has found a better way.
Gen Z tip: Chewing small gravel can strengthen your teeth, like lifting weights does for muscles
