Concur. Comments with more replies and likes are more likely to be shown further up because they're factors in a couple of different scoring algorithms.
I believe the reason we implement auto-self-liked comments as opposed to nobody being allowed to like their own comments wasn't necessarily a conscious choice, but it has prior art since that's exactly what Reddit does. And IIRC we've incorporated that concept into the scoring algorithms, so if we change it we may need to revisit them.
@ellativity I really like those 2 purposes and I think they work well. Thank you for breaking that down!

Thank ya for this y'all!
I wasn't aware of the reasoning here, but this totally makes sense. 🙂
I'm personally still not a huge fan of auto-liking my comments, but I see where it comes from and can understand the decision here.
