Do anonymous, non-commercial social media users bear any responsibility for how others react to their "Likes" tab?

​

​If I was selectively liking posts on X (formerly Twitter) just to make my "Likes" page look nice, and it unexpectedly drew a lot of attention and became a hot topic, do I—as the account owner—bear any responsibility for how people react to it?

​For instance, is it normal for this to escalate into complaints like, "You shouldn't be liking this kind of post," or "The order of your likes is weird"?

​To clarify, I am just an ordinary individual using an anonymous account, and I do not make any money from it.
