This reminds me of a research area in social sciences. I did some work related to it. It is similar to how and when people like social media posts. If you plot the number of likes or comments with time, you would definitely see a pattern where people tend to like a post if it already has a lot of likes on it. The more the number of likes the higher the chance that a random user will like it. So yeah, I guess we're social creatures programmed this way 🙃
Funny that you say that. When I'm watching Instagram Reels, I tend to skip ones with low number of likes and automatically stop on ones with high number of likes. Even though number of likes is not an indicator for good content. I should be mindful of that while I come across small content creators on social media 👌
