The Like Brothel

OnionSoup thought this was worth mentioning said Mon, Apr 1st 2019 at 9:13am ET

Apparently I’m stingy giving out likes… So if you want a comment to be liked post it in this thread and I’ll give it a nice gold star to get my “likes given” up and so I can stop being stingy.

I don’t want to be creepy and just go down a random thread starring everything.

Why not? I’ve gone and starred comments in four year old threads when they randomly get bumped.

Woo hoo, I did it. I’m not longer stingy! Turns out I only had to give about 20 likes away to get away from the stingy tag.

I’ll still continue liking anything on here to prevent myself relapsing into stingyness though.

- @OnionSoup The other way to get away from the stingy tag is not to post very often. That way your percentage of stars/posts goes up.

- @OnionSoup I’m labeled “pretty stingy” with 6853 likes given out. The altruism score comes under lies, damn lies and then statistics (although my sister and her husband, both CPA’s would add after that annual reports).

  Starring everything is creepy?
  
  How so?
  Of course, I am quite creepy, but that’s a different subject.
  
  And I don’t star everything.
  
  Some things I miss. Other things I don’t like. Other things I’ve never read.

mikibell said Wed, Apr 3rd 2019 at 3:45pm ET:

I think it will take more than 20 to change my stats:
mikibell is pretty stingy when it comes to handing out likes to other people’s posts, having doled out 3503 (for an altruism score of 0.7). mikibell’s posts have received 16325 likes, including the 5 likes they gave themselves (ew).

- @mikibell 3503 likes is not stingy. They should really revise that phrasing, even if it’s a small percentage compared to your total posts.

- @Kawa If you nominate someone for goat then you can’t vote for them. That’s the one I find. Although I apparently liked myself 36 times so I guess by accident? Maybe I just really like myself.

- @Kawa Sometimes you post something great, and then you are inattentive and forgetful while reviewing a thread. Or once, giphy put up a gif of a dog and I was compelled.

- @mikibell You have made enough comments they are likely impossible to find. I have made enough comments too so that even though I know 3 people who were in the thread, I haven’t found it yet as there were over 800 hits and I haven’t had time to look through them all. There needs to be a better search engine.
  Search for self stars
  Search for posts you starred

So we should all star @OnionSoup’s posts to lower his altruism? Sound like a plan.

- @sammydog01 it’s not based on how many likes you’ve received … I just did the maths…
  
  My new posts plus threads made = 855
  I have given out 931 likes.
  
  931/855 = 1.088888
  
  My altruism score is 1.1 ( which is the above number rounded up).
  
  Receiving likes doesn’t lower your altruism rating. Creating more posts DOES. So to stay non stingy you have to have given more stars than made comments.

- @OnionSoup @sammydog01 on a computer you can hover over the altruism word to see how exactly it calculates. Having likes given to you does not affect it. You just have to give more likes than you post for a high score. The quieter ones have really high scores.
