Topic: Anyone else not have many favorites?

Checking out other users here, I noticed that I seem to be a bit strange. I treat my liked list like my favorites list. I always felt like I had to save my favorites for the posts that truly deserve to be there.

Currently, my favorites list is 4 pages and my liked list is 10 pages. And I keep going to the liked list first.

Just curious if anyone else is this conservative with their liked/favorites lists.

Also yes, I've been on this site daily for 11 years and only have 708 liked posts and 263 favorites.

Not really here but I've had that mindset on other sites. Especially if there's a way to separate images into different groupings such as sets. I tend to go back and forth between that and a looser attitude depending on the website.

I tend to favorite only few pieces per artist or if something else makes the piece exceptional.
Or if I want to come back to it for art references/inspiration.
I got 42 favs, 19 upvotes since 2020 (I forget to upvote). But I also had several year gap that I wasn't active here

I could always create themed sets for more organization

After 16 years on the site, I only have maybe 3 pages worth of Favorites.

I use Sets most of the time. My favorites are super curated, and usually stuff that I find funny rather than just hot/good art.

Yeah I don't collect favorites much. I find I tend to prefer finding stuff I like again.

Since I download all the posts I personally like, I use the favorites and upvotes to track what I've already downloaded. re621 made this even easier since it let me set hotkeys for downloading and faving an image. I found that in 2020 or so, so my fav count would've started blowing up around then xP it took me a bit over 6 years to hit the 80k fav limit at the end of 2023, but now favs + sets is around 300k "favorited" images for me lol

~13 years on the site, 278 favs. It feels like too many but I don't think i've ever unfaved anything, i've tried but they still feel like solid picks.

Otherwise I have a bunch of sets for things I like that there is no tag for but I don't consider those favorites.

I checked out your favorites and found a new favorite artist (Sijimmy456)

No favorites, no likes. The system isn't private enough. Anyone can get an account and see what you're into.

I'm also a bit contrary to a tendency I've observed of some folks who like and favorite seemingly everything that gets posted here.
