re: like button use
Just like any other place with a like button, for example, Facebook, one has to register a username account and be logged in to be able to use it. All that’s required to register a WordPress.COM account is a valid email address.
If you assume that like button clicks are an accurate and true reflection of engagement then you are not aware of how many like button spammers there are. They click the like buttons on other sites for traffic driving purposes ie. simply so visitors will click their gravatars and visit their sites.
Bottom line: The value of a like button click in no way compares to the value of a thoughtful comment.
re: plugins
There is no FTP access https://en.support.wordpress.com/ftp-access/ and no blogger installed plugin capability on wordpress.COM blogs. https://en.support.wordpress.com/plugins/Blogger installed plugins are not permitted here at WordPress.com for various security reasons. No upgrade changes that reality.
This guide will explain how to move your WordPress.com site to another hosting platform: Moving to a Self-Hosted WordPress Site
https://en.support.wordpress.com/moving-to-a-self-hosted-wordpress-site/WordPress.COM and WordPress.ORG are completely separate and have different logins, features, run different versions of some themes with the same names, and have separate support documentation and separate support forums. Read the differences here http://en.support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/
If you don’t have a username account at WordPress.ORG click http://wordpress.org/support/ and register one on the top right hand corner of the page that opens, so you can post to the support forums there.

WordPress.org support docs are at https://codex.wordpress.org/Main_Page
