Fishing for likes
Any thoughts on people who fish for likes whether it be on Facebook, Instagram, or even here in PC?
When I was younger, I used to care a lot about getting the most likes on my status updates or photos but now it just feels very trivial and actually very idiotic. |
I never found anything wrong with that, unless they were trying too hard to the point that they made a post that ended up being more annoying than anything.
It's just another way of getting attention, which is fine. |
If it helps with someone's self-esteem then more power to them. As long as they aren't trying to hurt/bully/discriminate against someone you can usually just ignore it if it bothers you.
|
i can't say much about fishing for likes because i'm pretty sure every single person on this website has done that at least once.
all you have to do is make a half-ass doodle of Eevee or one of it's evolutions being cute and bam, 17,000 notes just like that. |
Like my post please
|
1 like = 5 pushups

I try to fish for likes at the gifwar, because I have good sources to find gifs to post here, and cross my fingers that someone either understands the joke, likes the origin of the gif, or both.
|
I always like a post that I agree with, in fact so much that it magically made an emblem appear.
|
I'm all for it it's what post of the week is all about
|
It's kind of annoying, but meh, let them do what they want I suppose.
|
1 like = 1 free kitten
|
It's annoying, but at the same time it's not something I would let myself get worked up over and most people grow out of it after a while anyway. Block features exist for people anybody who becomes a pain.
|
like this post and i'll bring you a slushie.
|
Ben wants all the likes.
|
Lol quality bait.
Now gimmie a like |
I don't NEED to fish for likes. My posts on their own are of such high quality that people just cannot help but like them.

i use to care a long time ago. now i really don't care.
if i like a post or agree with it, i'll like it! |
If it's super obvious that it's not something they would ever say or do and they're just posting it to try to get likes, I'll just ignore it and move on. Otherwise, I see nothing wrong with posting something funny (or whatever) to get attention. Sometimes it's well-deserved, even if that's what they're going for!
Everyone does it at some point and everyone knows from experience that getting likes usually makes you feel good so what harm does it do? |
Facebook: Could not care less
Twitter: It's private so again my need for "sik numbers" isn't quenched there. Tumblr: It's relatively private so I don't get many notes. PC, you're my only hope for any attention on the internet and clearly after I've been away for so long I've been starved of any internet recognition. (Though to be fair I just write what I feel like writing and find it quite interesting to see who I strike a chord with!) |
I lowkey hate it, but also lowkey like getting likes and attention. On Tumblr, I love seeing posts get likes and reblogs. It's kind of a way to feel validation and importance. When I see something I made or posted was enjoyed or agreed upon by a lot of people, it makes me feel good about myself, you know?
