Is there validity in reading a post / text / etc, appreciating it, yet not feeling the urge to like it? (lemmy.world)

It's one thing to feel appreciated when someone likes your comment, post, or generally the content you created, driving you forwards to continue making content for others to enjoy.

It's another thing to get kicks out of poor content that drives you to copy-paste more poor content.

But then again - what is poor? What is quality? Outside a well-thought argument in a comment, somebody might enjoy a s***post picture and giving it value as it made their day a bit better while somebody else doesn't.
