Every interaction has product.
Yes, even this blog post. Products include things you can hold in your hand, services that take work away from you and put it on someone else, or information.
Every product has a cost. Those costs include time, money, energy, thoughts, and emotions. If you’ve made it this far, thank you. You could have spend that time doing something else.
Several studies have looked at what makes people interact with posts, videos, stories, and content in general. Here are the 5 emotions that spark the most interaction and sharing
“Hold the line.”
“Be consistent.”
“Don’t change your mind.”
Because apparently changing your opinion on political and business issues means you don’t have a backbone. You flip-flop. You say whatever you have to in order to get ahead.
Do we really believe that stubborn, hard-headedness is the ideal?
Look, it’s social media, so you’re well within your right to connect with or sever connections with whomever you’d like. I just hope that when you demand that people who think differently than you be more open-minded, and then say things like the title of this post, you see the irony.
