By analyzing user interactions and preferences, we aim to identify those who have made a significant impact, sparked insightful discussions, and attracted the admiration of others, including the website’s host.Dataset

Who gets the most likes?
Have a look at the official forum statistics: https://www.audiosciencereview.com/forum/index.php?members/&key=highest_reaction_scoreWho likes Amir the most?
And who did Amir get most of the likes from? To find out, we first have to find out who liked whom and how often. We will need these relations for all the website’s users:Now we can check who Amir received the most likes from:
Hugo9000 and Veri are the leaders in this section and liked most comments by Amir.
And who is most liked by Amir?
Now comes the more interesting part. Who gets liked by Amir the most?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.
Who awards the most likes?
Who is particularly generous when it comes to handing out likes? Surely we will now see some names we have seen before among Amir’s likers:It is really impressive how many comments were liked by these people. As expected, Hugo9000 and Veri are on this list.
Amir is also presented in this top list. As the number of given comments to certain people was not that high, it means, he gave out likes to a great number of different users.
We would like to receive your feedback and further data analysis questions.
