Hi @Jess, @JoshOakhurst as described in bullet point Practical & functional in the solving TL;DR problem topic, removing likes will not help our cause.
While I agree that apps in general should do this, and it should be in the CHT principles, this forum is not an end-product, but more professional conversation platform. The likes serve to show your contribution is on-topic and valuable, without needing a ton of ‘Me too’ and ‘Agree’ comments that are distracting from real content and make the thread TL;DR.
