Why is everyone here so obsessed with Streaks?

I don't quite get what the benefit is. I have a 2 day Streak, does that make me royalty here?

Fear of missing out (FOMO): Users might fear losing their streaks because it's tied to a feeling of missing out on something or losing a level of engagement with their friends or followers.

I am also not keeping a streak here. There's the 'internal award' of this gamification part of the platform. Being active showcases someone's persistence and highlights their commitment to engaging and maintaining connections, thereby strengthening relationships.

@dan_burns got it thanks. it does not help with the launch or anything. i noticed there is a great community here.

I don't care about a streak as a number. I know people who log in just to keep their streaks. It's useless. I do care about bringing value to the PH community every day.

@olenabomko great response. I would also add it’s the community and friendships that bring here everyday not the streaks

- Gives subconscious validation in terms of consistency and showing up. - Builds some level of authority in the platform and community!

@dikshapatrob Interesting, I was seeing it the other way around. A very conscious effort and a gamified reminder to keep important things on the foreground. Shipping fast, promoting your product, seeking feedback, learning more about similar products... All

It's not about the streak, it comes down to consistency. However, I have come across individuals who only log in to maintain their streak. I have lost my streak 5 times and it doesn't matter to me much now. But consistency of logging in on PH, sharing & learning some insights + building some connections defintely goes a long way!

Streaks don't matter to be very honest. Being there for launches and also supporting the innovative tools is what PH is all about

Streaks aren't everything, but if I log in to PH every day, I can gain more knowledge for my next launch.

so basically if i reach 100 i am the king of PH und you have to bow before me. got it. btw I am Mathias. I am from Vienna, Austria, I am married and have a baby boy. I started Messages From Life (www.messagesfromlife.com) my problem: i felt depressed and I tried to cheer myself up. But I wished I heard it from someone else. That maybe Life itself told me that I was going to be ok. My idea: www.messagesfromlife.com You receive a short daily reminder and encouragement from Life. Reminders to take it easier, to focus on what is important and that you have an important place in the world

I don't care about streaks, in my opinion it feels manipulative.

It's totally understandable to wonder about the hype around Streaks. The benefit of maintaining a streak is that it helps you stay consistent and motivated in whatever activity or goal you're working on.

I would love to know the benefits behind the streaks to kind of keep me motivated to continue it.

I am not. Just lost my 30+ streak.
I have made 100 but then break it as it was not benefitting me

Good Question. I am more obsessed with weekends, rather than streak. (Guess, now people understand what my max. streak count will be) πŸ˜‚

Humans are simple, and I count myself in that category. :D
