I'm making a generalization of course, but i'd guess this boils down to affirmation? Who do we affirm people who think and post things we either agree with or have a similar thought process of us, and we don't press like if we don't agree with their argument or post. Now I don't know if affirmation of ones posts necessarily equals values of the things one posts.No, but your value as a poster on an internet forum certainly is.
If no one appreciates your posts enough to even occasionally slap that "like" button, are you really adding anything here? If a post is neither entertaining nor informative then you're really just wasting everyone's time (including your own).
Now, if you somehow equate your value as a person with your standing on an internet forum, that's a problem for a professional.
