TBH I still think that overtly calling to create a circle jerk "cartel" that likes each other's posts is kinda fake and gay. It's low status, incel coded and it's giving the ick.
This should be more of a covert, implied thing that you unconsciously end up doing to maintain group coherence and consensus. This is how women and liberals do it.
If we’re going to autistically reverse-engineer emergent female social media strategies, why stop at hearts? Why not flood the comments with “omg OBSESSED” “love uuuuuuu” “gorgeous girlie!” for like the first two hours after something gets posted, then completely forget about it?
Hahaha why not go full Zuckerberg and start slap fights in the comment section amirite? Nothing drives engagement like rage bait, I think that was the Facebook growth hack of 2016-2018 if memory serves
Nevertheless, the phenomena is there. I remember reading about digital marketing design that every click you require of your audience will lose at least 50% of them. Just a click. Somewhat related was that there was a country with super high percentage of organ donors compared to others, not because they were more altruistic than their neighboring countries, but more because the government changed it from an opt-in process to an opt-out process.
Why it happens likely varies, but comes down to convenience. Maybe the real solution is having a Dislike button, otherwise it defaults to Like. I'm sure a plugin like that either exists or could exist.
I'll add that for those of you who at reticent to simply like and leave something without actually experiencing it, you can improve your taste for it by a shift in perspective:
Think of it less of a "Like" button as a "Not-Dislike" button. Unless you dislike a piece so much that you don't want to help others see it, the default should be seeing the little heart is colored in. Otherwise, make sure it stays uncolored. The psychology of it all is much like what happens with Likert Scales where one person frets about just how strong is "strongly", and do they only moderately agree or merely somewhat agree... while others just think a categorical, "Yep, I don't disagree" and put Strongly Agree all down the chart. Or, as will drive so many authors insane, you get types that comment, "Love the story. Work of art. Absolute masterpiece. 2/5"
It's just a little heart button, ladies and gentlemen. If you don't want to trash the article, it probably deserves a little press for you having spent the time to even engage with the title.
I personally am going to try experiencing the article itself before I pass such stringent judgement myself, but that's because I am a habitual trail-concealer who tries to make my internet presence as invisible as possible - not a good trait for one aspiring for an audience. Liking begets liking. People like returning favors. And it also happens to be advantageous to dwell on the article page for some time before such minor engagements lest an investigation reveals a pattern of likes-for-likes corruptions going on.
As usual, the Norme wants to have his cake and eat it too. I'll try to be a better liker in general going forward, at least with this account.

Sometimes you just have to assert your Will to Power and wait for the chickies to narrate everything you do as Good simply because you’re on top.
I’m mostly doing this to show that I’m a good Tortuga Goy plus I want to cash this in for a favor later.

Suck it, Axelrod.
We should bring back Shakespeareian insults. “Thou art a beetle-headed, flap-eared knave.” – Much Ado About Nothing
UR gay
Or we could go with other equally classic lines. Like "Yo momma!"
UwU <3
Never understood how people can read an article, enjoy it and not leave a like. So simple and it actually helps, smh my head.

That’s insane; I knew people were lazy, but 50%?? I guess what Walt is trying to do makes sense then.
