2/2
I understand why companies do this. They consider the competition inherent in such social comparisons to be beneficial to their "engagement."
Sure, okay. Whatever.
That doesn't make that competitive or comparative drive in all your users *healthy* though, for either the users themselves, or for your service.
"Game-ify"-ing things often has the same negative impact as any other "engagement" incentive: it takes something someone should like doing and makes it a job, not a joy.
Fudge that.
