Simpleform MLKSHK

What I did:

I “liked” a bunch of stuff on the site.

What I expected to happen:

A warm fuzzy feeling as I share thanks with someone for showing me something cool/funny/beautiful.

What actually happened:

A steadily growing unease from the idea that someone who clicked the “Save” button, while exercising enough aesthetic judgment and editorial restraint to show me something I liked, gets kudos instead of the person who put in the hard work of finding the thing and saving it from the internet to their shake first. Do you, for being watched by someone and clicking the “Save” button, deserve their “like” more than the person who pawed through the stacks for the gems?

This could be taken in analogy with the internet↔mlkshk barrier though: why should the person who brought the picture to the site get the “like,” when it's just as likely to have been posted across seven levels of blogs already before being posted to the site ( http://mlkshk.com/p/JIA )? Perhaps it is the last layer of curation that counts, and the “likes” should in fact go to the person who has the widest following.
