“[insert name here] has WAY more ‘likes’ than [insert name here]!”
So what? Likes aren’t popularity, nor does it get you more friends/attention. It is only to emphasise the fact that you liked their blog. They put effort into it, you make them feel good about it in return. Or maybe, they wrote a story you enjoyed. Congratulations for them, but don’t go off, holding popularity contests. You could even make some bloggers, that try really hard (and aren’t on a certain list of achievers), feel left out, or hurt.
Making another account, just to give yourselves likes, isn’t a smart idea either. What do you gain out of that? Satisfaction? Money? Reputation? No. And it is kind of obvious if an MMO’er only likes your bogs, has no blogs of their own, never comments or is the first to ‘like’ your blog.
And if you think about it for a second, you are cheating your way up, while Johnny over there worked his way up to the ‘top’. Compare it to Legits and hackers in MS. Same basic concept, ‘some people’ are ruining ‘something’ for ‘someone’ else.
If you still believe ‘likes’ give you popularity, or they make you feel motivated to write more, then please Earn them fairly!
I don’t really see the point of them but
Beggars can’t be choosers, right?

Wise words Veggie,
Bingo
And. . .what incident inspired this rant? *curious*
Well with the making new accounts and saying you like your own stuff, it’s saying that you yourself like the blog you made. xP
~Cheezy
Was it something I did?
Lawl, 1 MS related line blogs FTW!
T’was not an incident, it was just the fact that I got sick and tired of people rambling on about ‘likes’.

EDIT: And Cheezey, if someone is proud of themselves, they should just say it. ‘I’m really surprised with myself! I thought i did pretty well!’
No need for a like to get satisfaction.
And i have a sneaking suspicion that this is going to be front paged. . . >.<
Haha
^.^
True though. But I WILL (try) to match my Zathe. . .
~Sashi
MWAHHAHAHHAHAHA
PREDICTION IS ACCURATE =D
sorry O_O
Agreed. My readers would know I’d be long gone by now if I wrote for likes. ~_~
Ironic that you get front-paged with a blog that is about “likes aren’t popularity”.
xD
Yes, I agree with err, Zath. Coincidence? I think not! Mischief is afoot and I am one to be cautious. . .

The people like Veggie’s wise words. Duh.
Oh, I agree with Kiyobi now. Srry Zath, I disagree with you now. xP

I earn them fairly. . .enough. . .
