Man is a complex creature. We cannot live on our own, without the influence of those around us. Communicating on a social network, we upload photos, videos, write our thoughts and maintain statuses for a reason, all of this is done in order to be understood, approved and praised. To support any content exhibited by the author, there is a Like in VKontakte or other popular network.
What does like mean?
For many, it is unclear what “like” is. This word is borrowed from the English language and is translated as “like”. The network term has become very popular lately. Initially, this button simply served to approve something on the page, moreover, many did not know about its existence. Now every user registered on the network seeks to gain a higher rating through the accumulated number of “likes”.
What is “like” for?
When many people know what “like” is, the author is interested in observing who exactly approved his information. Some even call for an active assessment on the network, signing: "If you like, put" like "." Why is it needed? Do not believe it - also for communication. The interest is to see who visited the page, which quote or photo was rated, which is less in demand, and so on. Following the opinion of the community, roughly speaking - crowds, a person is unlikely to watch any video with a low rating, with a small number of “likes”. In this situation, the visitor is sure that he will find a lot of useful and interesting for himself in the provided content, because many liked him!
The main goal of introducing “likes” in networks is convenience for users, as well as finding common with many people. Here is a great opportunity for self-realization of single people. When a person clicks like where there are already a lot of them, he feels involved in something big, demanded and necessary. There is another loophole that allows anyone to use the page in demand - the promotion of "likes". The trick is that the rating of information increases without viewing it, it becomes popular and viewed by millions of people.
