Here we tend to "like" everything that moves, and also that doesn't. Like like like, we're all drowned in likes.
Then let's look at NikonCafe, a sister site decidedly. A totally different thing. The greatest of master shots get perhaps 4 likes. Usually a post gets 0-1 likes with 0 being the more typical. I gave my thumbs-up on an older post, a nice shot (I don't "like" everything over there just to respect the culture, only the best of the best.) and later on I get a private message thanking me for liking the shot as he was able to reminisce on his older work.
Now, I am not saying there's a problem in either of these approaches, it's just interesting that there's such a difference in the "liking" culture!
