Being liked

[Pearljam5000]

I think I probably give the most likes to members on ASR( I have no way to confirm this )
I just feel bad for people writing comments and getting 0 likes(especially long ones )
It's very tiring sometimes but I still do it

Well, yes. Of course, not all comments are created equal.

100 Likes and $6 will get you a cup of something at Starbucks.

Sound like ChatGPT might have a great shot at being a like magnet then

My first attempt to get ChatGPT likes here was very disappointing.
Only the questioner liked it, and I think they were being polite.

This surprised me as I thought ChatGPT's answer was coherent, sensible, and pertinent, if not totally accurate. That frequently describes my own best posts.

I will try again, perhaps not revealing that the answer was ChatGPT's, and appending my question with "answer in a way that will get the most likes on ASR."

"answer in a way that will get the most likes on ASR."

Oh my. This may break the internet.

I don’t like any of you.

There was a time, on this forum, when I had about half as many likes as posts. I'm not sure if I was being deliberately naughty at the time or was just less likeable then, but I now have almost as many likes as posts and it puts me in a bit of quandary, because while it is relatively easy to be disliked, it is rather harder to be liked (and remain so).

So....does it matter how many likes you get, do you notice/care about it and, most importantly, were you once less likeable too?

We use this “Like to Post” ratio to determine who stays and who goes. You were hovering just over the grave and pulled out a win in the 9th inning. Keep up the good work.

A sure sign of taste and breeding.

No, water.

I don’t pay much attention to the liking system. I rarely like posts mostly because I forget to, so I don’t really care about it when I don’t receive many likes (example: this post).

My 1.93 is no contest to @restorer-john's 2.99. Therefore it is clear, you should choose to read his posts instead, as you are much more likely to like them. :-D

@restorer-john seems to be trying to rectify his high score by making known his heretical views on low priced Class D amplifiers. Maybe he is also struggling with the burden of being too well liked?

Your ratio between likes and posts will only get better if you stop posting from now on.

Well, Holdt, my dear friend, I didn't know you cared

And yes, you’ll get most likes for the regulars. It’s not that you were less likable before, just that people got to know you better.

So, what you're saying is.....they tolerate me better now?

My goodness, how many backhanded compliments can one person collect in a single thread

As for likes to post length, I once got 20+ likes on a post with just “” . That is way more effective than doing all the review nonsense

You shouldn't give away your cheat codes so easily.

See you are already getting a few more likes. I have added myself. Feel better soon.

Thank you, the struggle is real!

... unsure on current conversion rates.

So in the picture we have, from left to right, 2 cents, 2 pence and....some kind of crazy Lord of the Rings money?

Yes, well almost... from downunder (it's a frill-necked lizard), very close to Hobbiton, well played. My 2c...

I don't. I merely explained it.

I would be lying if I say I don't care about likes. I think it's a good reminder to "say something meaningful/helpful"

It reminds of how pop music is popular, but not because of quality - in my opinion, much of the best music is forgotten or overlooked.

Edit: Recency bias is an example why likes are not the only thing that matters.

Oh my. This may break the internet.

Dude, you have more likes than a teenager describing a novel!

 

[pseudoid]

I equate 'Likes" to cannon fodder!
Unfortunately, I must have just a bad aim!

Dude, you have more likes than a teenager describing a novel!

That's just a bad analogy: Or, perhaps, I never learned how to describe a novel and it's too late to learn!
