It's gonna nearly as bad as ads.

It's a simple comment, just scroll past it. Plus, you can always report them.
Furthermore, these comments aren't abundant on other platforms. It's been years since I've seen a YT comment begging for likes. So there probably won't be as many of these comments as you think.

yeah, if it happens, people who own the studio/project could make it a rule of no begging for likes. maybe we could get a sorting comment system like youtube.

maybe we could star comments, basically saving them just like star-ing projects.

Still, the pros outweigh the cons, if we're all so worried about like-grinding. Report button still exists, people often forget that.

imo liking MIGHT make this place (forums and comments) a lot more civilized, as we don't need to start threads saying “I agree”, we could just hit that like button. Everything would be more organized.

Also i'd like to suggest one addition - the ability to see which people liked a certain post. What do you guys think (think positive first or ima crash out)

that wouldn't be bad - as i said, maybe a star-ing system so you could save comments and look at em later instead of screenshotting.

I would call it bookmarking

we already have star-ing projects, why not comments?

The ability to see who exactly liked a post wouldn't be too bad, but I don't see many uses for it. It'd also probably be hard to load, since some comments would probably get hundreds, if not thousands, of likes.
I also believe it'd be better to “star” comments and not “like” them, same way we star projects.
As for bookmarking comments, what if we favorite them instead, just as we do projects?

i think we should just like have heart and star. heart is just liking a comment, and star let's you see it again. i don't think it would cause lag though, because there are projects that have a bunch of hearts and stars and don't produce lag from it. and maybe we could do like a remixing thing - you could remix a comment from another project, and have it in a different one. e.g. i say “food” on a project and someone remixes it on another.

Well, no, simply hearting or staring a comment won't produce any lag. It's when you attempt to see everyone who hearted/stared the comment that you'd get lag.
