It's not the likes people like, it's the pseudo social acceptance. Being downvoted would be like social rejection, a hit to your reputation. As much as I would love to downvote some Facebook posts, I think they did well at allowing only positive reinforcement. If you don't care, you just don't interact. If someone managed to find a solution to destructive comments everywhere, that would be awesome.
