this is one of my pet peeves on FB, all my friends who automatically post Amen or Like to whatever nonsense comes down the pike. "This kid has cancer, can he get 100,000 likes?" Well, A, he had progeria, not cancer, B, he has passed on already, and C, the person posting is not related to him in anyway. Talk about kneejerk reactions. "Hit like if you think this puppy is cute" WHY for the love of all that is holy???!! What is the point?
I have found I can "Hide" the user that my friends are clicking on without unfriending them. So I no longer see posts from those particular like-farmers. Every so often I post an article about like-farming but I doubt it does any good.
