Why people like their own post or why forums, blogs, social media give option to like their own post?
I find this dumb to like your own post. No offense!

Sometimes when I post something (e.g Reddit) the default is that the post is already upvoted by me, in which case I just leave it. Who cares if you like your own post I don't think it's that big of a deal 🤷
Actually here on dev.to it's the same, I'm not going to unlike my post if it's liked by default 😂
The other way to say, is Reddit allows you to downvote yourself.
Agreed
I think it's "conceptually odd", but a non-issue at the same time.
For the sake of consistency you can always open a post and have a "reaction". Regardless of who wrote it. Also, it kind of incentivizes you to check your post.
But, really, it's a victimless crime. One extra up-vote is meaningless.
But... while you don't auto-heart your posts, it does with your comments. Now that's odd. 😜
lol yeah
To get the ball rolling. As simple as that.
Except that fails when we're conditioned to read
1as the new0. :PBecause at some point, you've got to believe in yourself.
While I'm kidding there's something there I think. Generally, it's automatic so the platform is assuming you like that thing you're posting.
