What is up with people liking every comment on their post?

If you leave a notification in my inbox, let me feel special damn it.

I see it more as an acknowledgement that they have responded. If I really don’t like their comment I just ignore usually.

@SW-User I'm not trying to. I'm saying they use it wrong, according to me.

I didn’t realise there was a rule book, LOL@OnixBre

@SW-User Me neither, if there is I want to see it :D
If there isn't, maybe we should have one x)
I only like comments I genuinely like. Most people on here like every comment on their post to be “polite.” Apparently it shows the person you’ve read their comment.

i just want everyone to know that i appreciate the time they take to reply to my posts 🤷🏻‍♀️

@SW-User You replied to my reply to let me know you appreciate my reply to your reply, not that you liked/agreed with it's content :P
SW-User
@OnixBre no no no if i don’t like your reply i won’t reply to your reply at all i’ll just ignore your replies, so i replied to let you know i both agree and liked your reply

I almost always do it. Just shows I read their comment. Especially if it's lengthy and well thought out. A little heart wouldn't hurt lol.
Plus it's a habit I developed on EP lol

@OnixBre fair enough. Would you support a 'super like' button? 😂🤷🏽‍♂️
OnixBre · 26-30, M
@5thApprentice No, I'd support "I've read and I meh'd but I'm happy for your existence and your sacrifice to validate my life choices" button instead :D

@OnixBre 😂

It’s probably a way to acknowledge their response. It better than totally ignoring their comment because then that would be rude.
OnixBre · 26-30, M
@SimplyTracie Be rude then! What do we have from fake courtesy? If a person wants to reply, reply... don't mass spam the notifications and hope people will like you more. Agh.
SimplyTracie · 26-30, F
@OnixBre It not about being liked back. It’s just a way to say, thank you. And it’s not fake.
OnixBre · 26-30, M
@SimplyTracie So what's the harm in typing out "thank you" instead of mass liking comments made by everyone on the subject?
Okay, no more nice comments.

I mean if someone took the time to comment on my post, unless I really don’t like their response I will heart it.❤
KandiGhostcat · 22-25, F
I rarely do that on my posts, cause I usually will reply anyway.
It actually kind of annoys me when people just like everyone’s comment or just like it because it’s a friend some people put more thought into their comments than others and not everyone deserves a like.

I want you to like my comment because you think it’s funny or your agree not out of niceness or favoritism.
OnixBre · 26-30, M
@Stark Exactly.

Semi-related though, I actually wonder what kind of psychological effect mass liking has on the global scale (here and everywhere else), and how it impacts content. Hm.
If I like it you'll know I like it

@NunIover That's good!
SW-User
they want to be seen as nice
MartinTheFirst · 26-30, M
