I think the main thing the "Thanks" feature does is eliminates the need for redundant posts. If someone else has already said what you were going to, you don't quote it with "great post, I agree", you just hit "Thanks" and go on with your life. Yeah, if you have a bad take you might get roasted for likes, but at least it's not a pile-on that clutters up the site with a bunch of individual posts.
