It is not about the likes and zaps for me, it is about engaging discussions and the ability to collaborate and communicate with other like minded and variant individuals about topics that can help drive the discussion and ecosystem.
I try to also engage with the content and discussion that others share, but it is also nice to be able to have engaging discussions on your own posts and content.
Likes and zaps do not really do this, but do drive up the visibility to non- followers via the feed mechanisms, but I want to build a following to talk with not to seek likes and zaps.
Sharing thoughts and gathering feedback is critical to expanding one’s understanding of topics and community.
I will continue to keep engaging and working to expand my network of connections and community, but I am really hoping to find individuals that are looking for similar outcomes without spending a year or so essentially posting thoughts and questions to basically myself, when I feel that there are many that would engage in the discussion if it crossed their feeds.
Misaligned incentives.
Primary care doctor's have been trained by a system that has been co-opted by big pharma and the insurance industry.
As a result, doctors are rewarded (kickbacks) by prescriptions they write, not healing success rates.
They are simply drug dealers at this point. Sadly hippocratic oath means nothing now.
