Right on. I'm a photographer as well as a programmer, and I've largely stopped sharing photos on Instagram because I don't want to measure my work based on the number of likes each receives, and I don't want the people I care about who "follow" me there to feel the need to like my work. I've watched friends go through their various networks' feeds and mechanically like, react, whatever lest their friends think they're giving them the cold shoulder.

For the same reason, I've come to find using Uber exhausting. Why do I care about my 4.75 (was 4.77) rating? I take taxis whenever practical because I don't want to endanger my rating by making too much small talk or not making enough small talk.
