Yeah, Gamification is a huge problem for a lot of sites/apps. It makes it a competition and brings in people who normally wouldn’t bother to engage in it. And turns it into a competition, which in turn makes advertisers try to get the people doing well to promote their product. And before you know it everything is about getting the biggest amount of upvotes/likes/followers no matter the cost.
