Do you actually use the products you upvote, or is upvoting its own little habit?

First post here. Been browsing Product Hunt for a while without an account and finally made one.

Honest question about my own behavior. I upvote things way more than I try them. Something looks interesting, I hit the arrow, feel like I participated, and move on. I couldn't tell you the last thing I upvoted and then actually signed up for.

It's not that upvoting is bad. It's just that it's become this frictionless thing I do while scrolling, and it has almost nothing to do with whether I'd use the product. Which makes me wonder what the upvote even means to me at this point.

Do you upvote things you'd actually use, or do you upvote to signal "this looks cool" and move on? And has anyone here found a product because of the upvote count specifically, or do you ignore the numbers entirely?
