I am perverse at times and prefer to be first, but I still gave you a like anyways! 🤣

Yes,
I unconsciously do that

It looks trustworthy when they say more likes. Makes new content harder to grow because someone's gotta like first before it looks good to be liked by more

it's same in real life, people follow the crowd or follow what is endorsed by more people or just what more people confirm.
