people post to Reddit (and here) not to share their knowledge but because they get a little squirt of dopamine from upvotes and downvotes and replies.

I find that most people on this site use it to engage in discussion, to learn and to teach if they think they have something of value to say. For the most part, you're right about Reddit these days. When I used that site I'd check votes every time I was done scrolling. This site I check threads to see if anyone responded to me with anything I'd like to reply to.
