IMHO it's absurd: 5 ways to express positive, and only 2 for negative. If you're not positive about something, then you're either sad or angry. Odd continuum

IMHO it's absurd: 5 ways to express positive, and only 2 for negative. If you're not positive about something, then you're either sad or angry. Odd continuum from "Like" to "Angry" -- not the one I think most people operate on. It seems Zuck just really wants only positive feedback. Feedback from "angry" and "sad" people is easily dismissed and ignored.
Oh well, reason (n+1) of why I'm glad I don't use Facebook. It is a more a phenomenon to be observed.
- MichaelGG 11y agoAngry and Sad are not negative. It's so that when someone posts a picture of "Man beats his dog", you can like it by being Angry with people. Or when "Tidal wave kills 5000 in Elbonia", you can "like" it by being Sad. For instance, on this particular post, a lot of people want to say "I dislike this" or "This is stupid". They can say "Oh, well you're angry or sad", knowing full well how bad that looks and that people don't do it.
