In you opinion, why do users need incentives to upvote something .. If they enjoyed reading a post is that not incentive enough ?

    The incentive is that it rewards the poster for their time and effort proportionally to how much the post was enjoyed. Think about what makes Facebook worth so much money. It's because we all give it our time, our effort, our data, and our content. And it's all going to Facebook stakeholders. Shouldn't we be the ones making earnings from our data and content?
