Just don't 'like' say something

I have noticed some users here are very generous with their 'likes' but never take time to comment nor respond. This is a discussion site that expects users to respond and comment. Am I loud enough?

*takes off headphones* Eh? What did you say? I've been liking more than commenting today because I just don't feel like commenting on a whole lot of things. I didn't get as much sleep as I should have last night, so my head hurts and I'm not focusing very well. I'd rather leave coherent comments instead of making everyone wonder how drunk I was when I posted, so 'likes' it is for the time being.

I am a proactive which means I speak not just for me but for the community in general. Have you not seen some are generous with their likes and that's it

@Rosekitty I quite understand those who are banned. They cannot respond nor comment.but just like which should be appreciated. They take the time to do that.

I always try to comment and respond to the comments left on my discussions. Sometimes a like is all that is appropriate, though, if I have nothing to say that adds anything valuable to the discussion.

I do the same. I am talking of those who are habitual 'likers' and that's it

@sugartoes I am not sure whether just a like will help anyone here and yes if they exert a bit it will help both I think as that becomes a too and fro interaction.

@sugartoes But there is a limit to commenting as well and when that happens it will be ended with a like (lol)

I don't like as I forget too, but I certainly do respond. I love interacting with others, as I have learned so much, and gained many friends from it. I have also learned about other cultures. I will always respond to those discussions that interest me, now just to remember to like them too.

@allknowing Well, you know, I am having so much fun interacting, that I just can't help it. I want to help others earn too, and after all that is what it is all about anyway.

That's not bad. As long as you have heard and understood that's all that matters. So no more just liking but commenting also. Right?

Sometimes a like alone is because I have nothing to add but was there and read what was said. I also like comments that I like but have nothing to add to or feel as if I would be jumping into a conversation that doesn't include me.

Sometimes having nothing to add seems reasonable but with some it is a habit - just like and move on.

@sugartoes One can go to anyone's comments and responses and have their say. You are doing it right.

I agree with you. The only time I like and not respond are if I have absolutely nothing to say, which is totally rare.

That is fair enough. It is not always we have anything to say.

It makes such a big difference and everyone who writes does expect some kind of an interaction.

@SIMPLYD That is the whole purpose of this site - discussion and interaction.

@allknowing Posting with no interaction is disappointing . We have to make it in such a way that it can be commented as always .

What is it then that you like what you read but have nothing to say. This is a discussion site.

@sugartoes What I meant was that some users here just put a like on posts on a regular basis.

@Cristi_Ichim If one were to just like and move on then the purpose of this site is defeated which is discussing topics.

@allknowing Ok. I will try to interact with as many as possible not just by liking their posts but also responding to them one way or another.

I am astounded by this. The silly thing is we are paid for interacting on this site ,not just for liking posts and comments. It doesn't make any sense to me. Yeah.. "I would like to hear your opinion on the subject" is what I would like to tell my likers ; if they are even reading this.

It would be fantastic really if opinions were exchanged and that is the very purpose of this site but not many do that.

@sugartoes That;s a great idea to suggest posts that have no responses

true, but sometimes you just have nothing to add, and just like it. I find it very hard to comment to something like "yes, nice post.". yes it's not very common but...you can only like at that point :P

Sometimes I just like a discussion because I have nothing to comment. And I feel bad to open it and not doing anything

We all go through that situation sometimes but we have some here who merely like and not interact.

I agree. Some topics are bland and do not require to be liked. But have you noticed that even when a topic can be discussed it is just bypassed?
