All post-likes I see are based on that post being somewhat purposeful. Whether it's comedy, high-quality, informative, or anything else that benefits the liker, it serves a purpose. Look at my rep page and then my like page if you want to compare.
I somewhat agree with this. I like a shit-ton of posts, generally speaking, but there's a reason for each one. Sometimes it serves as giving the poster a nod of approval or agreement, sometimes it's because I find a post witty and enjoy it so I click to like it. Sometimes it's HQ contribution, discussion, debate, etc., so I click to like it. I don't like a bunch of LQ posts or such. I "like" posts that I really "like," plain and simple. I've never seen that as being a bad thing. For me personally, HQ and HQ-witty members get more post likes, and that works. It still reflects on how overall likable the user is regardless of what the person said that garnered the "like" -- whether it's a wrestling discussion, review, live discussion, debate, or a joke.
