Does the average number of GAs that have been given to the answers on a particular question affect your perception of what a GA is "worth" in the context of that question?

Again, just an exploration of the psychology of lurve

When you come to a question that already has several answers and you see that most have no GAs, with maybe only a couple having 1 or 2 GAs, do you have a general sense that in the context of this question a GA somehow counts for more, and so should be awarded with greater consideration?

Or if you see lots of GAs all around, do you get the impression that GAs mean less on this particular question, so they can be handed out more casually?

I’m not really considering “lurve fest” party threads here
