Still having a lot of fun everyday with @rodeodotclub, and I love that the team is making constant efforts to improve it.

I am not sure however I like the recent additions of "likes" and "follower count". They have little practical value and bring all those well-known mechanism of social networks that ultimately make them less fun.

Knowing whether an artist or collector has 20 or 20k followers has little practical value, and will much probably alter your perception of their work.

Most of the function of "like" is already in the "mint" action, which is much more interesting, because a tip/cost is included.
"Like" is a too simple / shallow action for actually meaning something, and as an author you end up counting them to feel good (or bad, depending on expectations), or making actions to maximize them, instead of actually focusing on what you are posting / minting.
