Does anybody else find the concept of liking rather loathsome? Tumblr implemented this too. It adds nothing. I don't care who "likes" something. If anything, it just adds to the addiction that builds up online, where everything is a numbers game. Getting "3 people liked this" as feedback tells me nothing and if anything makes me more reluctant to put up something that won't garner likes.
