Likes literally do not matter even a little!!! The reason is because they aren't an actual representation of how many people enjoy what you're making. Clicking like on a post is usually done with thoughtless hollowness and it's forgotten the moment they scroll on. It doesn't really measure anything at all about you or your content, nothing that matters. More likes doesn't mean more people care, and fewer likes doesn't mean less people care. They're absolutely worthless and indicate nothing! Don't worry about them! Thoughtful comments are more valuable because someone took the time to write something, but even then, doing everything in your power to GET COMMENTS or GET LIKES just means you're trying desperately to exploit system to farm meaningless things. Just appreciate what you naturally get and move on!
