If likes are treated as currency… How many total likes would be in circulation? If we found that, we could also find how many total hours users have spent reading posts, to find the likes given per hour read. This would give us an approximate value of likes, applying minimum wage to the hours. (10$ an hour gets you 100 likes, then likes are worth 10 cents) IDK, it is pretty interesting to think of Makecode as a little economy! Could there have been a like inflation when users were [trying to get the badges](https://forum.makecode.com/t/opinion-on-the-hardest-badge-to-get-besides-other-and-trust-levels/19446)? How much money would sarge’s impressive thousands of likes received actually be worth? ---

A thousand likes is 100 dollars. If they had to live off that then that wouldn’t be much, but if they live with their parents it would be a lot. ---

Wow, they actually have a total like count! ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/makecode/original/2X/2/294683c7033ec25ca8defa9359aa3bd864673b14.png) ~90k total likes, and sarge as 6k, that means 6.6% go to sarge! (and to think Richard only got 4.4%) If we only had the total read time… ---

Could you compare total likes to total read time to get the value of a user’s likes? ---

If likes are a currency, then me and @randomuser are causing _a lot_ of inflation. 🫠 ---

The problem is, there is no ‘sort by read time’ so I wouldn’t get the really big numbers. ---
