A dopamine hit isn't all bad
Quote
it's a bad thing in and of itself. It's not objectively bad, to head to feel a sense of reward and excitement for a thing that's happening in your life. I mean, dopamine hit is not all bad.

Summary
Seeing real people listen to something you made is a dopamine hit, and Dave says that's fine. The idea has been pooh-poohed because of social media, but feeling reward and excitement about something happening in your life isn't objectively bad, especially when you've put something into the world and the response comes back.
