Likes on social media should be seen as stamps of indifference.

If I were a famous person, to take a kind of revenge in my own way, I would just leave hearts on the comments people make on my social media accounts, and perhaps at most just a few sentences of a “reply” and move on, just like they persistently and systematically do to me. Likes on social media should be seen as stamps of indifference. But instead of hating it, they would enjoy this psychological torture method. For their fragile happiness depends on those emojis. A few pixel lights flicker on their screens, and when they see this, they feel “validated” and thus relieved. They don’t resent this algorithmic superficiality; they cherish and encourage it. No one sees the murderer beneath those "overly innocent" expressions, and none of them will realize that I am giving them this drug they are addicted to, not in a friendly way, but purely in a mocking manner.
