Remove loves and favorites

Codingfairy07

Hi, I am Lulu, and I had been on the site for half a year. I propose that removing loves and favorites will make a happier and healthier community because:
1: This will end trading loves and favorites for PFP's, designs, thumbnails, OC's, ect
2: Love4Love will end. This will also help end Follow4Follow (F4F) because this is suggesting that fame isn't important (I am not shaming F4Fers)
3: Famous Scratcher Studios, which require needing a certain amount of follows, loves, views, and favorites to join, will be reduced
I am not saying the follow problem will end, but this is one step to end the fame problem

Technically, all “trading of social actions” is banned, via item 5 of this topic.

This includes:

Contests that give away follows/loves/favorites

Studios that give you points for following/loving/favoriting

Giving love-its in exchange for love-its

So…. how are we going to showcase other projects on our profiles?

I guess this makes sense, but I do not support.

No support. How else are you going to show someone you like a project of theirs? Sure, you could comment, but what if you are not allowed to?
Also, I haven't really seen many people bragging about loves/favorites, maybe if they do I will support.

Fame isn't a problem as long as they don't break the Community Guidelines!

Maybe hiding the amount would work? Also, no support because that is encouraging, but not the main focus.

no support. i know that little kids won't get happy about the loves and favorites being removed on their hard worked projects

Reev0102

No support.

How else would I tell the creator I like their project without spamming their comments?
How else would I revisit projects without memorising the URL?

No Support.

Removing loves:
How would I tell the creator that I like a project without spamming the comments?
How will the creator know what kind of thing interests people easily?
How will there be a top loved row if there are no loves?

Removing favourites:
How would I tell the creator that I like a project without spamming the comments?
How will the creator know what kind of thing interests people easily?
How am I supposed to remember the project id of the projects I want to go back to? (Don't say bookmark the page, it doesn't show the project's thumbnail and is rather annoying to have to go through)

Maybe only remove favourites?

But then how will we bookmark projects to visit them later?

Why do you suppose that removing loves and favorites will stop f4f?

Yeah, just no. This will potentially demotivate scratchers if they don't know people like their projects.
