Does A👍Count As Much As A Detailed Interaction?

Introduction

The vocal Leaderboard is about rewarding interaction between Vocal Creators but I have a few questions. Here is the last one if you want to check what I am talking about.

Most Discussed Stories This Week

Very often I see comments that interact with the main story, which is what I see as a discussion, but often, especially when a piece gets awarded a Top Story there are a lot of one word comments.

Now do these carry the same score as the detailed discussion ones which may be three or four lines? I think for a comment to count it should have a minimum length, but I would love to know what Vocal's position is on this.

It makes me think of this Isaac Asimov quote:

Popular Stories with the Most Likes this Week

This is just how much your story is liked by other Vocal creators. Though to leave a heart you don't even have to read a story, just drop in and leave the heart, but it doesn't necessarily count as a read.

Most Subscribed to Creators this Week

I don't know if this is based on new subscribers or a percentage of your subscriber base. Also, I wonder if spammers count. I recently had fifteen subscribers removed, and while I know I am not popular, I don't think I am that unpopular but still have 960 subscribers.

Most Supportive Commenters this Week

This is possibly the most straightforward category, but again I wonder if single word/ short comments count toward this.

Emerging Creators

This has been removed but again it had set rules, but didn't take into account AI spammers.

Conclusion

I know this is mainly questions and I hope it gives some food for thought. I can't offer any solutions here because I am not Vocal, but would love to hear your thoughts.
