Indeed. Then I could go back and "Like" this post. That would be very Meta wouldn't it.

To be honest, I'm not sure. Our world has become so cold, everything and everyone has to be rated/liked. The German word "bewerten" describes it better: it means giving something value. "Bewerten" derives from "Wert" (value/worthiness), a very strong word.
But I disgress.

O dear god, we have a philosopher on the forums!
To put my two cents in the pot (Oi! Take those filthy coins out of the soup...) I'd say a positive aspect of the "like" button is that it saves time and space. Currently if someone posts something you find risible, you have to quote it and type "Ha ha! I DO find that amusing!" instead of just "liking" the fucker. And if MANY people like your....say, picture of a cat playing the piano (no-one better bloody DARE)...then you get a whole page of people quoting the picture, going "How funny! Yes, I TOO like that."
"Liking" someone's post is also a good way of reassuring them that whatever drivel you've spun out after their post isn't hostile in intention.

When you criticized the show in any way you were insulted and told to shut up and stop watching the show. Then the usual gaggle of thugs all "Liked" the assault. It just seemed like a very bullying tactic.
I just happened to be browsing around over there and spotted someone else getting the treatment.
Just my two cents worth.
