Wow that's crazy. I'm sure that usage is not the expectation from the app makers. It almost makes me wonder if there is a strange counter-psychology going on there, as if your acceptance was in part measured by your participation, and that if someone did not see a like from you, it had consequences.

I'm 28 and people definitely notice when you don't notice one of their posts. A like is often just an aknowledgement of "Yes, I saw this, I still follow what you're up to, we're still friends"
