You need to be more confident in your own views/opinions

How did people not notice this instantly?
As far as I saw it yesterday, I refreshed a page, and boom, got this new system with the likes included.

It doesn't even matter because unlike the news articles, it won't hide or move posts around. And thank god for that. Also, if any of you have ad block plus, you can click "block element" on both the picture of the thumb and the "like count"... thus eliminating it entirely.

Eh, I'm fine with it unless it becomes a detriment. So long as no dislike button is added I think it should be okay.

Most threads it's not even used yet, obviously not this one because it's entirely about the system.

But can go through page and pages of recent posts with 0 likes atm.

I'm neutral until a problem occurs.

I don't see any detriments with the way it's currently implemented.

Against. Just adds an incentive to "point farm" and change their way of posting to maximize said points. Conversations should be as genuine as possible and not as an aim to gain imaginary points or attention. There was already enough of that without the Like system.

Well said. Have an upvote!
