In my opinion, having the like button is just turning the forum into who has the most amount of likes, while that's not a bad thing, I believe, what we seek for is not a like, but comments from actual peoples.
I mean if I really wanted likes, I would just post stuffs on facebook/instagram, they already do that kind of job. Why do the same thing on a forum? Sure it saves you time to just hit the like button, for the creator to see, you do care.
But is it really showing a genuine response? In my opinion, it's not. What we need, is actual response. That's how I see this. And a lot of forums are facing the issue of sketchbooks not receiving any replies at all, even when the person is actually commentating on others sketchbook.
