more from that month
**12 Views and 30 Likes** I saw a post fee minutes ago with 12 views and 30 likes. How is the number of *likes* higher than the number of *views*? Its more than twice the value. This is not the first time I have noticed such, but the difference is always small. But this is way much - 30/12. **Can we like an article without viewing it? What is the possible explanation for this?**

Probably some users just like articles without actually reading it. That is possible tho, because I also do that sometimes, when the title is catchy, but I'm not in the mood to read an article. Haha
I didn't know we could do that. I just tried it out now. Thanks
Hahaha I sometimes do this too.
I think it's a bug of read.cash try to contact the read.cash and said to them
Its not a bug. Someone just gave the right reason in the comment.
I think it's about an update days ago where freshly published articles get on the main page so most users see it. The thing is, they only hit the like button without opening the article. It did happen to me once. I got 33 views but I had 66 likes.
Thanks. I think you are right. I just tried it out. Didn't know we could do that.
No problem. Yeah, it's possible.
I notice the same since a few days. I know earlier there was a bug (the downvotes) if the downvoter presses the button many times after each other one person can downvote someone many times. Perhaps someday by up voting too?
I don't think we can upvote an article twice. If we upvote once and tries again it will cancel the upvote we gave. Perhaps it's still a bug. An article having **30 likes** and just **12 views**
Update: I just realize why. I think we can like an article without opening it. I just tried it from the homepage. I clicked the like on an article without viewing it. This explains it.
That can be an explanation. Perhaps that option should be removed. Liking what you haven't even saw.
I wonder why they enabled such function. Liking an article without reading. I just realized we could do that. I tried it and wala
An interesting question. There are more things that doesn't make sense to me. How come an account can not be reported, a moderator can not block a user directly? A part of the options are gone, others don't work. Well, you solved the mystery. I do not see the point in up voting what I did not read first. Now read.cash asks us to downvote as well.
The minutes you guys talk about the new function on it that's only could explain over it. means only they can trace if your pivots already a spammer or not due to that
I noticed that too. It seems that some people like the post we are based on the title, or whatever. It is not clear to me personally. If I see a post whose title or topic interests me, I open it, read it and like it if I like it. Still, it’s obvious that not everyone works that way, and I’ve long since learned that it’s not worth judging others based on what we ourselves do and think.
I wonder why read.cash will make it possible to like an article without viewing it.
I really don't know that, but that's the only logical explanation in my opinion.
Yes po, especially if that Article can be seen on top of the main page, they won't bother to view it, they will just like that Article.
That's not a good practice. I wonder why such is enabled.
I don't know too, 😑 and why they can't just visit the Article and read, I think somw of here are just basing on the title, and if they didn't like topic they will just like it and scroll down.
maybe in the homepage some are scrolling and liking only without opening the article.
Yes. I just realized we could like a post without opening to read.
I notice that in mine also.. I was puzzled about it also.
They make like without reading your article 😊
Me too. In short they not read our article just also clicked like button instantly without understanding to our article.
Maybe we have to spend some time on article before it counts for views? I don't know, I noticed this too few days back, and that's my justification, maybe some just open and like and leave lol!
The moment there is the time indicated in the article was the moment some articles got some higher likes than views, it's because some users won't bother to click the article upon seeing the time reading indicated just hitting the like button.
My own conclusion is that many people just go to home page and like some articles without even opening it maybe because the title looks catchy or the lead pictures look catchy. Also many people will check the time for an article to be read and when they see they can't have the time to read, so they like. Lastly, I think some will even open the article and felt tired to drop a comment so they will just like 🤔 This act is very bad....it's not encouraging
At the home page when I read an article, if the first sentences is quite interesting I click the like button without clicking the article itself. Maybe this is one of the explaination
It has also happened to me in several articles, and I did the test of giving like without entering to read and mark the upvote, they should modify that option, leave on the main screen as information and for the vote to be valid you have to enter the article.
It's very possible. You can tap on the like button of an article without opening it to view
The only logical explanation to this - Surveying through communities and an individual just likes an article without actually opening the Article to read
