Hearts , views and favor question

[DaManoHandmade]

I was wondering, there are a lot of groups that do favathos and "favor my shop" actions.
Are they useful or a waste of time?
Do the views or hearts help with SEO?
I have tried and participate but it seems I invest too much energy I could use adding listings or crafting without any use.
What do you think?

Hi Maria,

Those are a waste of time because you're not getting them organically (i.e. someone searching a specific term, seeing your item, clicking on it and adding it to their favourites). It's definitely better to use that time instead on creating new listings/items, or just improving the accuracy of your tags/titles :)

I think I answered the similar question earlier today. I totally agree with Wei on this.
