Keeping the poll anonymous to encourage honesty; exactly what it says on the title, do you fave ocs you see around to keep a sort of wishlist?

I do it with UFT/S characters, hoping to have the funds to buy them someday, or hoping that the owner will look at my profile and see a character they'd like to trade theirs for :') Though that's only on my trade account.
On my main account, I fave characters I love for their art, background, concept, etc.... as well as codes I'd like to use. Sure, I'd love to own some of them, but I don't see my faves as a wishlist.
I fave characters I like for their design/characterization. I have no intention to buy or trade for characters so it'll never really be a wishlist for me, and I wouldn't use faves as one even if I did plan to buy/trade. I also tend to fave and forget, so even if I did it as a wishlist, it wouldn't be a very effective one :p
I do not treat my favorites page as a wishlist. I only fave a character because the design/bio looks pretty neat/interesting to me, but I never offer on them. I do have a folder for characters that I really love the most based on design/character, but I never use it as a wishlist either. However, I also fave my own characters for personal use of my Featured Characters section of my page (Though now, I unfave them if I don't have that much connection to these characters as I used to), and I fave HTML codes for future use on character profiles and other things.
I used to just fave if I like the character, but now I almost exclusively favorite UFT/S characters as like a "bookmark" to go back to them, or basically see what happened to the design if they did get bought. I also do this to some of my characters before trading just to see what happens to them :0
Nahhhh If I fave your character, there's a good chance I'm gonna art them at some point in the future.
I don't! If I favourite a design it's usually just because I like the profile and/or the design itself. I personally get beyond uncomfortable if a character on my main profile gets added to a wishlist explicitly since the ones I currently own won't be leaving me at all (not to mention harassment in the past on another site over a wishlist!).
Sometimes I also fav just because I'll check in once in a blue moon to see if they have any new art! It tends to be how I find new artists to commission ha
Otherwise the only favs I organize are just codes I want to use in future or purchase in future!
i mainly fave if i like the characters design or their bio. i just like to check up on them now and then to see what the owner added. occasionally it is for me to check up on again to see if they were put up for trade/sale (which is how i got some of my “dream designs”) but after a bit I realized just because I really like a characters design doesnt necessarily mean Ill be able to use them!
