I find this to be an interesting topic. Does tipping/giving make you feel happier? Purpose > Transaction (Lewis Hyde The Gift, highly recommend) Auto-tipping can commoditize the part where you choose to be generous. That little moment of intent. that’s where the oxytocin hits. No conscious choice then no chemical release. Need to retrain my brain it’s not just a like we are giving… It speed up trust loops (expecting nothing in return 🙌), but do we risk losing the warm fuzzies? “But neither money nor machines can create. They shuttle tokens of energy, but they do not transform. A civilization based on them puts people out of touch with their creative powers.” - Lewis Hyde

It does change my behavior. I love to tip on purpose, I hate to auto-tip (especially excessive amounts), I am fine doing micro-tipping to people I enjoy to talk to or read from BUT at some point you realize you’re giving money away and wondering what’s the purpose, what’s the benefit. So, I can’t help to start to think more transactional AND reduce tipping on purpose WHEN I autotip small amounts AND potentially engage less

As the recipient of a tip, I always feel guilty like I don't deserve it. This in turns makes it hard for me to publicly say thank you because it draws attention to what already makes me feel bad. I'm not sure what happened in my childhood to break me this way...

I think there is an emotional reward from being able to say (even if it's just to yourself) that "every week, I give $$$ to the people who create my fav content".

Tipping with thought feels like making eye contact in a world of tap to pay gestures. Might be slower, but it’s human

I used to do it but now I don’t. It went from something where I felt like I was genuinely rewarding quality to an accelerant on the trashification of the timeline.

I agree, giving with intention feels so much more fulfilling than auto-tipping. It’s interesting how the act of giving impacts our emotions and sense of connection. Do you think the ‘warm fuzzies’ would disappear if tipping became more automated and detached?
