Also because people don't use "favorite" as actual favorite, they use it as some sort of "add to personal gallery" sorta thing, that's why you often see pictures with many more favorites than upvotes even when it's not a repost.

Oops I've been using it wrong. I dunno which site got me into the habit of it, but I always saw favourites as a super-upvotes.

No. It would be called "Add to personal gallery" instead of "favorites" if that were the point.

If you like something enough that it's a favorite you should at least give it a thumbs up/upvote, too.

Yeah, that's pretty much how it's supposed to be used. That's why its' called "favorite" and not "add to view later list" or something. You consider it one of your favorites so you "super upvote" it 'cause you like it so much, which also means you should regular upvote it as well. It's only good e6iquette.
