Watching folk flock to software solutions and social networks completely against their own personal interests solely because 'everyone is doing it' is such a fascinating phenomenon. Incentives matter, but belonging matters more. (?)

@brianleroux People might say "everybody's doing it". But that's the judgmental version. The reality is that people want to be where other people are. That *is* part of their interests. So it might more sense to think of it as people making tradeoffs.
We can still be judgmental if we believe it's not the right tradeoff. I'm just saying that the network is only as valuable as the people who show up.

@polotek Hey, do you mind if I quote-post this? This is the core thing, to me, and it keeps needing to be said.

@kissane go for it.
