Thoughts on people’s psychological need for feedback/attention:
Look at this screenshot. iJustine will put you in her next video if you comment on the video in YouTube…
“Please put me in your next ask ij!”, “PUT ME IN THE NEXT EPISODE I AM 10 PLZ”, “PLEASEE AND THANK YOU! it will mean SOO MUCCH TO US!”, etc.
I see this on Instagram all the time as well. If a photo has 1000+ likes, there are your typical comments on there. I’m looking at one now…
“Follow”, “Me”; “I’m a model actor in LA ;) Check me out. Please follow”, “Pretty! Check me out :)” (by a young girl on a girl’s photo), “This is f***ing AMAZING!!!! Follow and I’ll return the favor ;)”
There are so many people that just want to be heard or loved. Everyone wants to have a voice. Everyone wants someone to care about them. It’s that psychological need for feedback and the subsequent highs that follow.
