*Ahem*
People 'like' automatically in many cases. Just because there is a dearth of experienced players who recognize what goes into making a 'good' house (or are tired of codeshops and know where to get codes online), the players at the top of the leaderboard are the ones who advertise for longer hours in public places. Some players even have secondary accounts to direct flow from a smaller codeshop to a larger, main codeshop in order to garner more likes.
The simple reason, so far as I can tell, is that there is no incentive for players to NOT like a house immediately upon entry. There is no limit to the number of likes they can give out, and no benefit to liking a quality house with intricate design. I've found that designing my house layout actually LOSES likes over time, when compared to others who are on the board, because I am not standing out advertising or spamming invitations like other players.
In a way, this incentivizes making a crappy codeshop on a secondary account, spamming new players with invitations, and not changing up your layout, purely because there is money to be made from players wandering through the bushes in your house, and the higher on the list you are, the more people wander through. Funny how that works...
P.S. - My house has zero codes, and I'm in the top 50 for season <3

That really sucks  The whole purpose of house leaderboards and liking houses was to motivate more people to make cool houses and have the cool houses up at the top for people to see...wish we could think of way to fix that but I have 0 ideas that would work lol. It's really, really disappointing to only see code shops on the leaderboards...like dusty and I were really hoping to see people utilizing the fashion show furniture and making a cool catwalk and stuff, but nope...this makes me really sad. Especially when #1 is literally a f***king code shop scam. Kinda pees me off.
