      The responses to this are wild, but also predictable. Seeing it is... I don’t know the right word. Number of likes is data. It helps determine what can be monetized and for how much. So, Instagram is just increasing an information assymetry, giving them more pricing power 1/xhttps://twitter.com/wired/status/1192959592285843456 …

      Given the climate, you would think folks might push back against increasing information asymmetries. But not here. Because it gives people here on Twitter a little moment to feel superior to the “dopamine junkies” on Instagram. As if that isn’t the act of a dopamine junkie 2/x

      I get it. You’re here on Twitter talking about serious things. You’re putting out maximum effort at being clever and pithy. You’re nothing like those normies taking pictures of their lunch or entitled influencers scamming free vacations or vapid thots selling at tummy tea 3/x

          But geez. Some of those people are making money by engaging with followers who want to be there Why applaud anything that erodes their ability to price their influence correctly and lets the platform capture more of that revenue? Who does that benefit 4/x

          In many ways, we’ve constructed a system where the powerful often don’t have to take things from us by force. They just have to promise to do something that lowers the status of people we don’t like and we’ll give up just about anything 5/x
