We all know, Amir gets the most likes. But who received the most likes from Amir?

[Blumlein 88]

Well I have not looked at this thread until now. Had no idea I was that high on Amir's like list or that I gave out so many likes. I do hit the like button to encourage people. I think my position on these lists has a lot to do with being one of the earliest members. I think everyone likes getting a like (except for SIY, despite which I like many of his posts).

I maybe don't hit like on Amir's posts as much as I otherwise might because often 50+ other people have liked something by the time I see it. I am sure liking he has this forum.

To state the obvious, my results are heavily skewed by reviews I do which get a lot of likes. As to who I give likes to, I had no idea what the counts were. It was very informative to see.

def needs a time domain analysis otherwise it's quite obvious that the top contributors and ASR veterans will take the top spots

Aren't typical ASR posters minimum-phase devi̵c̵e̵s̵otees so it all can be seen already in their FR? (Frequent Reposting)

 

[Keith_W]

Shouldn't Boris Badinov be on that list? He gets the most likes from me

What about un-likes? What happened to them?

If you like and unlike a post multiple times, does the member get multiple notifications of xxxx liked your message and then xxxx un-liked your message?

They were being weaponized, so they were discontinued.

You can still unlike by just pressing the like button again....

I tried it on your post above.

I thought you meant when you could like or dislike a post. I'd assume like most forums, unlike is just a removal of a like and nothing more.

I hate everyone.

hilarious...

 

[thecheapseats]

getting 'likes' makes me nervous...

 

[Axo1989]

Well, I can't help that people are suck-ups.

As we can see, Blumlein 88 and DonH56 got more likes from the host than anybody else (over 300). But, interestingly, the numbers for each individual user don’t seem to be that high compared to how many likes Amir got from some users, e.g. Hugo9000, Veri, or Xulonn.

But I'm not sure I understand the poll: haven't you already given the answer in the initial post? Also "over 300" when the relevant graph shows < 300 ... I think ZeroGPT maybe failed on this one.

The second part sounds as if you are rethinking your “liking” strategy

I've been guilty of doing that when I read further on in a thread and realised the post I liked was wrong about something..

Sometimes I like posts with well formulated and non hostile context with good arguments even if I do not agree.

I know I've mentioned this before , but I (still) wish that ASR had a small spectrum of "likes" we could use. For example, if someone posts about a tragedy, one does't really want to like it, but one might wish to ackowledge it, even if one lacks the right words for a proper reply.

https://hifihaven.org/ for example, which also uses the XenForo platform, gives its users a few (six) choices:
like, love, haha, wow, sad, angry

I do realize that even this level of resolution can telegraph some ambiguity. One might chose angry to indicate direct anger with the post (or even the poster!) or a shared anger or disappointment with the poster on, e.g., some third-party content described in the post.

The "wow" option can come in handy.

That got turned on by default when I upgraded to 2.0 version of the software. Alas, many including myself thought it was confusing so I reverted back to simple like.

 

[mhardy6647]

Ironically, I'll click "like" to show my appreciation for the explanation*, @amirm !

* Which you have probably shared with me before, when I asked about it/them before. I'm gettin' to the point where I live in the moment (i.e., where my short-term memory's pretty much taken the big vacation. ).

Good decision.

 

[Steven Holt]

When I post something I'm sure Amir reaches under his desk for that bottle of Maker's Mark. That said, I did get one 'like' from him and count myself damn lucky.

 

[Chrispy]

Makes me wonder if there were more choices than just "like"....not exactly a great metric.
