Apparently, this is happening in Facebook as well. I wonder how they are accounting for cultural ambiguity when it comes to Likes. In Philippines, most users click like on almost every post they scroll as kind of acknowledgement that they've seen it. Even in other places, many do this for comments when they have nothing to reply. If removing 'Like' does improve quality of discourse, then it's great; but then again if improving quality of discourse was the motive they would have integrated the 'Dislike' button.
