Thanks, interesting conversation. Liked the man buying himself a trophy analogy, very apt. I am still trying to get my head round all the concepts and terminology and the new concepts and terminology to come with SMTs etc whilst also trying to sustain my interest in the platform and motivation to post.
I think the point re real human engagement is key. I think deep down people want genuine comments, follows and conversations rather than empty upvotes from people who have not read, watched or listened to the content even if there is more monetary value in the latter at times.
