2. I think it was Subthread deleted.
They've been an item for a couple of weeks now. Or so I've heard.

4. I have a theory.

I think that DU itself gives out a single heart to those who don't have one, doling out a certain number of hearts at a time. I think the rationalization is to make people without hearts feel better and to assauge complaints of it being a "popularity contest," but I think the real reason is to encourage them to buy hearts in return for the people they think might have bought them the auto-generated heart.

I think it's a clever and successful marketing ploy.

5. AHA! The admin just saw this and gave me another heart...



... TO COVER UP THEIR SUPER SECRET EVIL CORPORATE "AUTO HEARTS FOR GUILT CASH" PROJECT!1! I knew it!!! It's a conspiracy! A conspiracy, I tell you! !!

:tinfoilhat:


Forget it, DU admin! I'm going to spread news of your corporate evildoing far and wide!


Unless you cough up enough cash to buy my silence. Let's say a cool million.


Okay, seriously though... thank you to whomever gave me the heart. But for the record, I'm not a fan of the "popularity contest" feeling it can create, so I don't buy them for anyone. Which does not mean I love you any less, dammit!
