I feel like casts on my feed have an oddly low number of likes atm? 

Not my casts specifically but like all of them, even Dan, Ted, Jacob, etc. who normally have like 10-100x as many likes on their posts. 

Am I tripping?

Low number of likes - because of tipping - people are thinking twice before hitting the like button, I suspect.

I think the tipn experiment is smart because if you’re using “house money” you’ll give freely but when you’re not, you think harder when you’re doing some action, especially when you’re looking at reloading your balances. 

So what seems cool for a while, suddenly starts becoming a deterrent for behavior.

Could see that having an impact. One of the main reasons I press the like button for free 😅

yeah this is probably part of it for sure
