作者：

Highlights：

• Liking comments is detrimental for learner-learner interaction over time in MOOCs.

• Popular learners attract more learner-learner interaction over time in MOOCs indicating the “rich-get-richer” rule.

• MOOC learners have no preference to engage in learner-learner interaction over time with those similar to themselves.

• MOOC learners' do not reciprocate learner-learner interaction over time.
