Can we re-phrase the question in less of a reddit-style way?What's the discussion we want to have behind this?
- resdirector 16y agoI can't agree more. Look at the first comment: 20 karma points, and no real substance, hackerish or otherwise. I'd like to see a discussion about (a) what it actually means to "like" something, (b) what demographics currently use the "like" buttons (c) are there any startup ideas to revolutionize the distribution of information etc.
- what 16y agoClicking "like" is like saying I have nothing to actually contribute but I want to feel like I'm participating. Also, I guess it stops the thousands of comments that would just say "I agree," "Yeah" or whatever? But what good is a "like" button if there is no "dislike/hate" button?
