torrentthief Posted April 8, 2013 Share Posted April 8, 2013 It is very annoying seeing "1 other liked this comment" everywhere due to people liking their own comments, it biases which posts we concentrate our attention to.

HawkMan Posted April 8, 2013 Share Posted April 8, 2013 It is very annoying seeing "1 other liked this comment" everywhere due to people liking their own comments, it biases which posts we concentrate our attention to. It only happens for frontpage articles like this: http://www.neowin.ne...ext-xbox-reveal The real question is, WHY do you care about how many if any or who if any liked a post ? why is that even a part of your bias of why you read a post ?

MikeChipshop Member Posted April 8, 2013 Member Share Posted April 8, 2013 Oh, so you can! Doesn't really matter though does it? I mean, i personally don't give greater weight to a comment that happens to have one extra like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
torrentthief Posted April 8, 2013 Author Share Posted April 8, 2013 The real question is, WHY do you care about how many if any or who if any liked a post ? why is that even a part of your bias of why you read a post ? If there's 50 comments and i don't have enough time to read them all i might only read the ones that have 1 or more likes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bgjerlow Posted April 8, 2013 Share Posted April 8, 2013 Liking a post you've made is like high-fiving yourself. It just makes you look like an ass. Jub 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
techbeck Posted April 8, 2013 Share Posted April 8, 2013 I have not liked a single post here...but it is funny if people are liking their own posts. I go by the content of the post...not the amount of likes. A lot post immature/silly things and it is also amusing to see how many likes those posts get as well. Seems the mature/thoughtful posts get less likes than the immature/rude/troll posts. Kinda tells you about some of the people who post here. But anyway, again, I dont go by the likes.

Arachno 1D Posted April 8, 2013 Share Posted April 8, 2013 So your inferring vote rigging tut tut not even the Guberment thought of that...... On a serious not you should really try to read at least the majority of comments as you may find yourself posting the same slander as someone already has.

Osiris Posted April 8, 2013 Share Posted April 8, 2013 You can't really deny the like function, much like a +1 or upvote etc has a byproduct of directing peoples attentions so I understand the OP's comment but on the same token I don't think a few people liking their own comments on news articles is causing a major swing in where your attention would be directed if you are heavily going off those.
