Indeed.

Evidence was provided showing the feature being used for that kind of “abuse”. But that has not been the primary use of “Like”, and it was never anticipated to be the primary use of such. And it was anticipated that at least some such “abuse” would appear and even sometimes disappear (perhaps repeatedly) after launch and that such possibility for abuse would not change much of anything with regard to this feature being launched and maintained on FT.
I’m not a huge fan of the feature, but I do use it. Even as I don’t really gain much of anything out of its use (other than to save perhaps a bit of time), I’m also not a huge opponent of the feature.
