↳ In-reply-to » @prologic I see it the same way. Most people just post something to gain fame and attention. They would do almost anything for a like. But don't we all want or are looking for some fame or attention? If not, why are we posting things here then? At some point in the past, I just gave up, also with my blog. I disabled comments and I just post for myself. If someone reads it and want to contact me, that person can send an email.

I found an example of this the other day and posted it on my other feed. I was reading a blog post (that I found on HN) and at the bottom of the post there was a “Submit to HN” button. That shows you the real reason why the author wrote the post.

That’s different than a button to share something to a microblog.
