Ha, I know many people feel this way and I understand to some extent, but I’ve always been a fan of the “like” button. I mean, not so much its current incarnation as ubiquitous SEO detritus, but in social spaces like Facebook and here I think it’s great.. it gives us another path toward the basic human connection of acknowledging/affirming each other, without the social anxiety that—even in the smallest interactions—can come with searching for just the right words. IMO this is often what draws people* to the button, though I know it’s often read as “not caring enough to type something.”

*”people” meaning “me”
