I agree with the others on the softening effect. I think sometimes the liking and comments here have a lot to do with timing. If you post a cake and then someone (or many someones) post all of their cakes right behind yours they can get lost in the shuffle. I’m as guilty as anyone – usually when I stop in I will look at the top 20 cakes and then I will look at the first page or 2 or the newly submitted cakes.
