The truth about social media

submitted by blackpilllife from (self.AskSaidIt)

Some people who post what they do on social media are not good at what they do and they get likes because the people giving them likes are doing so to be nice to them for trying while they’re not getting likes from people because they’re impressed yet those who are having they’re egos fed through social media end up believing they’re people give them likes because they find what they post impressive when the higher possibility of why they get likes is because most people giving them likes are being nice to them for trying

I really don't think people giving you a like out of pity is the worst aspect of Social Media.

I don’t think it’s such a bad aspect I just think the way people give people like out of pity causes some people to misunderstand why they’re getting a like. A really bad aspect of social media is the way in which some people will use it to wave around their victim mentality

Ohhh, I see. You're just pointing out that much of the interaction you're getting is just people clicking because they feel socially and morally obligated. Yeah, I think that's fair.

Your right when you mention people giving posts a like out of social and moral obligations the reason people feel obligated to do so is to show how supportive they want to be to person they’re giving a like to.
