      I like upvotes, can be everything between 'hey nice item', 'good to see / hear from you again' to 'you little cunt'. And, as @Oaktavia said, this isn't usual social media. We're much nicer. 😁

        Generally agree with the positive views. A half-upvote would be useful though (mainly for @Matt when he basically looks great but 🐊).

          And btw, I've been doing neuroscientific research for almost 30 years. So, I've drawn a graph of what I think the dopamine spikes of an upvote vs. the purchase of a new IH item are in comparison, consider the y-axis logarithmical. My synapses are in constant dopamine overflow since I've joined this forum and I like it.

                @endo I was going to comment on the dopamine spike I get when I get the UPS app notification that my package from Gosport is out for delivery 🤤

                        @Oliver_YO181 I think that sums up the esoteric approach that most medical students and MDs have to lab work and science, at least in my experience

                              Be all that as it may, there’s a rich body of peer reviewed evidence that observation of social media likes creates a dopamine spike, and in turn that has been tied to self esteem and anxiety issues.

                              I am self assured and all that, but I’m not so arrogant as to think I’m immune from this dopamine spike, thus I avoid looking at Likes.

                              This all feels like it's about Facebook, or similar platforms. The IH forum and its upvote system are not Facebook, and the comparison feels like apples and oranges. I'm not saying that there isn't some level of validation addiction being fed with the upvotes, nor do I disagree with you that it drives engagement, but those are all big concepts that have much larger implications that don't seem to fit with this platform. It seems correlative at best, and while I respect your opinion, it feels like it's more directed at platforms whose algorithms are designed for clicks and ad sales, and whose engagement creates more opportunities for eyeballs on ads. This forum isn't any of that.

                              Regardless of all of our differing opinions, this is a really interesting conversation!

                                I can admit if I post a WAYWT pic and it gets a high upvote result it makes me feel good that I put together a sharp ensemble. But getting the ball rolling on a good conversation that stirs the beehive up a bit is way more satisfying.

                                  It’s wishful thinking IMO to think that this forum or our brains are somehow immune from this psychological phenomenon, and the noble intention of recognizing someone and giving them some love may have unintended consequences… but I’ve said enough and will leave it there.

                                  Think it, be it.

                                        @mclaincausey 95% of what our minds do isn’t something we, ourselves don’t notice at all. But that doesn’t necessarily say it’s all a bad thing. I still believe in the good will of people. Those are seeking for high votes/likes/thumbs up have deeper troubles then give a f*ck about upvotes and that’s the core of there issue. So it’s more the why that mathers then the what. It all start somewhere and that’s where the talk or discussion needs to take place. Not pointing our fingers because what people do but start a talk about why they are doing it. If they’re not open for that kinda talks then we need to let it go because it’s still ‘assuming’ why we are thinking why they have that kinda behavior and that’s a more serious flaw in human species then the thing your pointing out. We need to talk, so in other words communicate with each other. This is also the core of the forum. We communicate, we share, we care so there’s a lot of love around here. In the end it we can have our own opinions in things and that’s fine and in my imo we could still get along. Life is like a marriage you can’t always get what you want.
