For some people (and businesses) all of the metrics are valuable only so far as they can be distilled into cash flow, profitability and monetization.

Some of this relates back to "gift practices" which permeate all societies to different degrees, which also relates to groups and belonging. Your point is that this is now able to be measured in a way which we were never able to do before, which in itself drives behaviours.
