This episode was inspired by an x (formerly twitter) exchange I had with another user who posted, "MFS who keep tweeting with 0 likes fear no one 😭" So, I replied just asking do we post on social media to express ourselves or for the likes? This podcast explores the complex relationship between self-expression and the pursuit of validation on social media platforms like X (formerly Twitter).

It examines how "likes" impact users psychologically, influencing posting frequency and content creation, even subconsciously. The hosts discuss the tension between authentic self-expression and the curated online persona, highlighting the potential for social media metrics to distort self-perception and inhibit genuine connection. Ultimately, the episode explores the philosophical implications of seeking external validation for self-worth and the importance of prioritizing authentic expression over the pursuit of popularity.
