Sometimes it's just a friendly gesture, like a symbolic smile and nod of acknowledgement.
You may give a heart to a well written post that causes you to consider the view expressed, even though you completely disagree with the conclusion.
It might be encouragement for a newbie, a 'Thank you!', or the 'tip' you leave behind after reading something funny.
Agree with so many reasons already given here. Sort of and "easy button".

Hearts are nice-I like to give some as a hug, some for an agreement, some for a newbie just to let them feel welcomed, some even if I disagree if the POV is presented in a mature manner, and sometmes it's nice to acknowledge something even if I am not going to respond.
I do like the "mention" feature so that I don't intentionally ignore somebody who responded to me. It's ok if my "mentions" do not get acknowledged but I truly don't like to ignore somebody who took the time to respond to me.
I know all of this has been already stated but I'm just giving my own version if that's ok.

There is no definitive definition for why a heart is given for a post. It does have many meanings and each one a meaning to the one who is giving it.
Maybe it would be better to have a choice between giving a heart, a thumbs up or a thumbs down for a post and that would define the reference for the post better.

@StraytoStay, in Settings & Preferences there's a section titled "Hearts", where you can set it so you don't see them.
Thanks @Moonchilde I like hearts so wouldn't set it up, but those that don't shouldn't expect everyone to read their posts about not wanting them and having to remember who not to give a heart to, when they can take two minutes to follow the directions you typed. I can't read every post in the boards myself to know who to not heart. I can see not wanting hugs, but hearts? I like them.
