Its just empty, addiction-driven gamification of human interaction that is completely devoid of any legitimate or good or purpose.

Or, you know, just maybe, it's another form of communication, and does have some use.

No, its a parasite thats been added to communication, to its great detriment, to trick fools into fighting for points in a dopamine driven addiction scam and is directly responsible for the polarized and extreme direction human interaction has taken online.

It is literally destroying communication. Not enhancing it. not providing another form.

Wonder if you still feel this way when a comment of yours gets many upvotes, instead of downvotes?
