Do stars serve a purpose other than saying you "like" something?

I used to think that stars didn't mean anything... after all, I can't buy shoes with them.
However.
After 2016, I have repeatedly been told that the popular vote matters.
So now I judge "who won" in a debate based on the number of stars.
Because it seems to be important to the other side.

I buy shoes all the time with my stars.
So maybe you just don't know how to use the export feature?

I have things made of fabric, with laces, that I put over my feet.
That's the dictionary definition of a shoe.....soooo you're wrong, you just have to deal with it.

That you bought with stars.
The irony is that if we were worried about stars, we wouldn't be posting on a thread that doesn't have stars.
No shoes for you!

Are the stars meant for something similar or just to boost self esteem or make a user feel good watching them add up?

I always find it interesting to see which posters make a big deal over stars and flags in comparison to what sides of political arguments they generally take. Seems to me that some are intent upon propagating stereotypes even though they rail against them.
