>>61248939>if even normal people are numberfags in some waysAnon, we as a species have literally gone to war over numberfagging so much that it's impossible for me to even think of a time it didn't factor into wars.
There is a reason people want to see "New York Times Bestseller" on a book before they buy it.
There is a reason people celebrate their favorite artists "Going Platinum."
Numberfagging is, quite frankly, just a derogatory way of saying "status seeking." And everyone, EVERYONE cares about status. They either care because they want to attain it, or define themselves around how it doesn't matter to them that they don't have it (giving away that they do, in fact, care about having an anti-status status).
