How do you use that information? I admit I like it as well, but when I ask myself why I like it, I only find negative reasons. I tend to think it’s a net negative for society as it encourages tribalism and people to base their self-worth on likes.

I view it as a networking thing, simulating real life a little bit. Like if I’m chatting with someone at a meetup/conference, I can also see the people standing there listening in on the conversation, see them nodding along. It lets people be involved without necessarily having something to say.
