Poll: Do you use GitHub stars for bookmarking or for “Liking”?

The intended purpose of stars is bookmarking. "Starring a repository allows you to keep track of projects that you find interesting, even if you aren't associated with the project." [1]

However, I rarely browse my list of starred repos. I use star as a way to show my appreciation. It is sort of "Like" button for me.
