I see a number people just clicking likes on your comments/posts but they never seem to get into any meaningful interactions. I wonder if this is just with me or the others have also noticed it.
How does this help.. I usually go to their profile and check them out and leave a comment or two on their discussion.. but I never see it returned.. I cannot understand this interaction very much though.

Most of the time I comment and I enjoy doing ti. This is a discussion site and not just a nodding site.

It's nice to be acknowledged in some kind of way.

@sofssu Yes, I think so. To me it's saying, they aren't just concerned about themselves. *shrugs*

@purplealabaster This makes sense to me. I do this on other sites as well. I can't see posting something if you really don't have anything worthwhile to say, but you can still give someone affirmation for their post or response.

I have that on my own personal discussions, but for responses on other people's discussion, I get a lot of 'likes'.

I am just learning my way around and may be guilty of this at times.

@Tampa_girl7 Most of us are.. We have come from a different orientation I agree. However, it would be good to keep in mind that this is a discussion site. I guess that will come in a short time naturally.

I will like a comment and or response, and will comment back. I just love interacting with others, as it is so much fun, and after all, I am helping them earn. My earnings are going up faster and faster from all the interaction I have been doing.

I try to like and comment as much as possible. Normally I will only 'like' something if the discussion has ran it's course. But yes, I have noticed like when I correspond on someone else's discussion, an outsider will come in and 'like' all my comments there, without adding anything.
It could be due to the fact of what @PhredWreck and @Owlwings mentioned. In a way it makes me feel good about myself, for you know I have a hang up about my writing. So to get the likes makes me feel acknowledge and appreciated. (Yes, it doesn't take much for me)

@sofssu Ok, I am following you now. You have to over look how slow I am, I mean I have to jump start my brain with every comment. Since I am realizing now what you implying, Yes, at times it can be a bit annoying. And I agree, if they would simply add to the discussion (for which the site is), then there would be more discussions to be had without.

@TexanTornado Yeah.. that is what I mean.. I am not talking about a one off situation when you have nothing to say. i see many do this here.

I do not find too many 'likes', to my comments, but most of my comments are usually responded to in writing.

@gregario888 I guess It does happens at times.. But I always like to like and respond. I like to tell the other person I respect your opinion and your time.

I tried to talk to you on another thread, but never received a reply. At the time (this afternoon) I thought perhaps you were no longer on the site. Now, I don't know what to think...

@DaddyEvil OH I am terribly sorry, Maybe I missed your response on the thread.. I am usually very particular about responding to all comments on my thread.. However, I haven't been hanging around much these past 4-5 days as I have been having sever headaches and its gets worse the moment I look intently at the laptop screen for more than ten minutes at a time. Which thread was it BTW

@DaddyEvil Give yourself some time to get used to this site. I am sure you'll find your way around faster than you think. Maybe you posted the response under another person's comment .. which could have lead to my assuming that you were actually talking to someone else.

@sofssu UHHH... I'm sorry, but I don't know. I still get lost trying to remember where I said something and where someone else was talking to me... I was lost all afternoon today, trying to find something I had said, I thought it was on one thread and I was somehow missing it.
I joined a discussion because I finally decided to go through the thing post by post to find the one I needed/wanted and the one I wanted was on a different thread.
Uhm... You realize I may even be mistaken about what thread I was on, right?

@crazyhorseladycx You don't mince words do you? It does give me the same feeling when I see these serial likes happen.

@sofssu Uhhh... I see your counts by your name, but I thought your counts were so high we could no longer see the first number... Odd and very interesting in several ways... Gotta think about this... I am sure I have seen these patterns before, but where and why?

@sofssu I attempt to like and comment on most posts. I feel that I can usually find something to say. My method is to get on the site and first go through all my notifications and respond to those who commented on my posts. Then I go through as many discussions as possible and when I'm done I put in new posts and come back the next day.

I tend to like and comment on posts. The only time I do not do both is when I don't understand what the person is trying to get across.

I sometimes like without commenting if just think I have nothing to add to a discussion that others haven't already said. Serial liking should be discouraged though.

@sofssu I think they go round every site with like buttons with the same mentality - not just Mylot

@arthurchappell some people do seem to be terribly fond of serial liking. I really wonder if they have even read what is being said.

I have not noticed much of that on my discussions. It does remind me of anther site that we both used to belong to. I am trying to get better at this site, I just reached a dollar, so am seeing some progress. It is comforting to me that you are on this site.

@gudheartI may guess that may have to do with interactions with others. I am not sure.

I know what you mean... but even though they do not leave a comment it is helpful because with their likes the post may stay on the explore page longer... or something... and sometimes I like a post ... but just do not know what to say by way of a comment so just like it....
