Getting approval on Steemit.
Approval, what is it? We know that we are right, but we are not enough. We are looking for approval from friends, acquaintances or simply unknown Steemit users. For us it is very important.
A group of researchers from the University of California in their study proved that getting likes and upvotes activates the same areas of the brain that winning money and eating chocolate. It was also shown that adolescents often showed a tendency upvote photos that have already become popular. Or when a lot of bots upvote post - it is also a strong likelihood that the post becomes popular on Steemit))) This is just the psychology.
Conclusion - it shows how much we are dependent on the opinions of others. That is how we raise our self-esteem, which is actually understated in most people.
Instead of simply enjoying life and freedom of choice, we voluntarily agree to other decide how to live and what to choose.
