Forum likes

[Silly Bubbles]

I understand that some people might find this topic not important but I just can’t stop wondering why this forum is less generous on likes than US forum.

I personally don’t mind clicking on everything I like to show appreciation, respect and agreement so I wonder what’s other forum members view on using “like” function.

I like likes. I like giving likes. Likes make one more likeable

I like Likes but I would like even more to express more with that "Like" option, like it's on FB. I would like to have also the heart, emoticon, crying, , emoticons.

[...] I just can’t stop wondering why this forum is less generous on likes than US forum.

The most obvious explanation would probably be the fact that this Forum has far fewer active members than the US Forum. I've been here for some three years or more, and there are many registered members here who may or may not still be reading the Forum, but who no longer post comments.

So the question is... is there a difference in the ratio of messages to likes on the US forum?

Edit: I've just had a look and the answer is - yes, a considerably higher ratio of likes on the US forum.

I guess they like to like stuff. If there was a hate option that would probably be higher too

Might be a generation thing. I personally don’t see the need for the hype of a like, but my children might.

I don't splash them around, but prefer to give them as prizes when there's a particularly good point made.

Lol the US are the motherland of facebook, no wonder they like everything. Inflation decreases the value so getting a like in the US is worth nothing, get one here and you may have said something worthwhile

I for one certainly don´t post things to get likes lol, if I could get food out of posting things I might change my style, but for likes? Not going to happen

The main reason why I'm asking is that it might increase contribution and involvement if we want more members to engage in discussion.
Also, it doesn't cost anything.

Yep. No point arguing about someone's imaginary world.
