How do you know that people like them?

If the answer is "well, they keep using them". Then by that same definition, people like slot machines, cocaine, and over-eating junk food.

Is it a good, useful definition of "like" if it describes behavior that people feel compelled to do but are remorseful about after?





Social media sites literally have a ui affordance for liking a post.

Liking a post doesn't mean you like the app.

I made the assumption that people like interacting with things they like.
