Aquaria Posted March 21, 2014 Share Posted March 21, 2014 Think about how social media has changed how we think and act... Is there anything more satisfying or titilating than the sight of a small white number in a red box? It's like a quick shot of pleasure I would liken to that of chocolate or sexual gratification. I work in social media, so I literally live for the applause, but have you found you're happier when you got notes and a little let down if you didn't, like a personal flop... I mean, if an Instagram photo is posted and no one sees it, what was the point of even doing the thing you took a photo of to begin with?! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bu. Posted March 21, 2014 Share Posted March 21, 2014 Being the most applauded member here I must admit seeing that box is like winning a Grammy. It feels good every time and also surprising. Don't even being that shade up again Roc . I know you have high quality posts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reyna ♔ Posted March 21, 2014 Share Posted March 21, 2014 I was going to say no when I saw the title, but after reading I kind of actually have to say yes. I do like to see some notification especially if I think it was something really good. I don't consider it the only or one of the biggest reasons I post, but it's nice to see someone "like"/agree with me. Even to debate me if they have a good argument.

Rock & Roll Hall of Game Posted March 21, 2014 Share Posted March 21, 2014 I do like the feeling of being retweeted on twitter and when random people like my Instagram photos but I wouldn't necessarily say I "live for the applause" 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kishi Posted March 23, 2014 Share Posted March 23, 2014 The amount of likes don't mean a thing to me, it's the sentimental attachment and appreciation I get from the pictures. I love photography and I grew up making photo albums (a habit from my mother), so I look as each picture I upload on Facebook or Instagram as a historian duty. In every point of my life, there's always been a camera. My friends and family really appreciate any photos I have of them in my collection. I hardly take selfies and I love taking pictures at events or of groups. 10 years from now, I want to remember special moments, plus I already have a mirror and love how I look, so I don't need to constantly post pictures of myself trying to look cute or make weird faces.

RedSimba Posted March 23, 2014 Share Posted March 23, 2014 I appreciate likes and retweets, but I'm still going to express my thoughts and opinions whether people like it or not (no pun intended? lol) And I almost never use instagram anyway. Only a picture of my foot made it onto there lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
