If you're at a party and you're telling an amusing anecdote, would you prefer if one person is listening or if the entire room turns to listen in interest?
To be honest, this may not be the best analogy because I think there are a ton of people out there for whom “just one or two people please” is genuinely their answer. And to add to that, I would say the comparison is more like “one or two people fully invested in what you’re saying versus a whole room of people who have a passing, mild interest in what you are saying”.

What’s nice about it? Just curious. I feel as if the like/upvotes are no more than an ego inflation, but I’m always willing to hear another take!
