(you)

Why do people crave those (you)s so goddamn badly? Why do you? Why do I?

This is now a (you) exchange thread, reply to me and I'll reply to you with a (you).

Fuck you.

...

Like, why do I feel pleasure from seeing those (you)s even though it means absolutely nothing? Hell, you probably didn't even read those posts.

im fine with one or two its not like they are addicting :^)

just because

But they are addicting, and it's not just because. It feels good to see that (you), otherwise people wouldn't go out of their way to get them, or keep threads open in tabs to see if they get any (you)s.

Why?

FAGGOT

something to do with social recognition. Your brain knows that there is a human being at the end of the post providing the (you). It's no different from getting likes on social media or smiling at someone in the street and having them smile back; it lets you know that other people know you exist, which is nice.
