like-mining

Attempting to get as many people as possible, or just a particular individual, to like your post on a social networking site such as facebook.

Example 1:
Person 1: Why do you post so much stuff?
Person 2: Like-mining, bro, I do it for the likes.
Person 1: I think you may have insecurity issues.
Person 2: Fuck off and mind your own business, asshole.
Person 1: My point has been proven.

Example 2:

Guy 1: Dude, that girl that I was telling you about just posted a pick of her at a feminism rally.
Guy 2: This is your chance, man. Post a photo in support of women's rights; she'll like it and you'll win brownie points with her.
Guy 1: You want me to like-mine? Isn't it a bit ironic for me to post a photo supporting women's rights and at the same time attempt to manipulate a woman?
Guy 2: It's persuasion, not manipulation. And who gives a shit? Aren't you just trying to get laid?
Guy 1: Yeah, but ... this is quite a quagmire

Meme mining
