Hey,

as this is a user-specific column, how would you be able to count the number of likes (sum of all users who faved a specific item) of an item and display that somewhere?

Thank you  
Peter

You can’t count them directly.

The only way to get the count that you want is to maintain a separate global counter for each item.
