As dangerous as the internet is, I really do love it. Not only is it filled with strangers and bigots, but also really nice people. When you talk to your friends, you may feel as if when they compliment it’s because of their preexisting bias. They’re your friend, so you already know they like you, but you could also feel that since they’re your friend, what they’re complimenting you on may not be real. However, it’s different on the internet. When random strangers on the interwebs see your post, they can easily express how they feel. That means that when they saw something you posted, it was their decision to like it. If it’s a stranger, there’s no preexisting bias or obligation, that’s just how they feel. From what I feel, this is amazing. Absolutely fascinating. Not only is this person supporting you, but they’re also doing it out of free will. They’re supporting you because they enjoy what they’ve seen from you. Especially when they follow you afterwards, that means they seek out more content from you. Attention from someone you’ve never met feels so special, I love the internet. And when they comment, they personally chose to give you feedback on what you’re posting. This also means they decided to spend a minute or two interacting with your post. One post out of billions, they decided to interact with you as a part of their collection. Isn’t that just splendid?
