I’ve always hated the fav button on devArt, and I hate the kudos button on AO3 for the exact same reason. It’s an illusion of people giving back to the artist or author, no emotional labour involved. I get not having the spoons to write a comment under every fic you read, and sometimes binging on fic is the only thing that keeps you sane. But. The kudo button adds nothing of value to the author. It’s useless.
