Usually occurring on social media sites and forum sites, it occurs when members on the website, known as Like Inflators, constantly hit the like button on every post they see. They usually do not hold a regard to what the post is, so you might see the most idiotic, white knight-ish and/or social justice warrior like post get one like.
This decreases the value of likes on a website, as you can easily get a ton of likes from a Like Inflator, or a ton more of them if there are multiple ones on the website

The phenomenon where you want to be able to have more and more screen time whilst still having screen time limits imposed by parents remain equally strict. This is mainly caused by constantly subscribing to new YouTube channels, which does not show maturity in limiting your own screen time. Rather, it tells the YouTube algorithm that you're willing to have more hours of YouTube per day even though you may "only" do this as a mere digital form of "tipping". It's akin to the akcual inflation, where prices and cost of living increases significantly whilst your wage remains equally low.
Ever since Jamie started subscribing to all those YouTube channels, his screen time inflation has skyrocketed; he wants to watch more videos but still has to stick to the equally strict limits set by his parents.

Software Price Inflation is when a price of a software or application rises due to the raising amount of the software piracy for that specific software. Companies do this to make up for lost revenue
