Everywhere you look online, you see little counters. Everything is "likable" and every "like" inflates a counter. But what does the counter mean? What does it represent? Does it convey value? Is it an indication of worth?

I had a very real conversation with a few close friends. What I've found is that we have common struggles. Notoriety on the internet is such a strange thing and if we're not careful, we can easily get caught up in the whirlwind of acclamation.
