Yeah, “it’s complicated” is the best way to summarize it.

In the end, it’s Tom’s call. But if likes don’t come back, I suppose “you go girl” is here to stay.

1953

Some people do not like likes. Some people like likes. Some people don’t care. A number of people are not even aware of this thread. In the end, it’s up to Tom. If you feel like you haven’t put in your own thoughts, feel free to add them, this is where people talk about that sort of thing.

A lot of hashing out of feelings occurred here.

I did post my two cents in the Discourse thread, but I’ll add them to this thread for posterity.

I definitely prefer getting and giving likes vs. nothing. I am never going to reply to every single post I think is useful/funny/insightful/interesting (especially if I’m on my phone when I read it) but clicking like is easy and I am pretty sure the person receiving the like appreciates it.

1955

I don’t want likes, but somehow people have found a way to make a system without likes even worse.

1956

Bwhahahaha

1957

Yep. Worst of both worlds.

1958

You mean something akin to making remarks about likes in every other topic and trying to blackmail Tom with you go girl if he doesn’t comply to their wishes?

IMO, content-free YGG posts should be bannable.

If you pretty it up with a pertinent and not repeatedly used GIF or are clever about it, it’s the same as responding to the post and I’m cool with that.

And here we go again…

1963

Oh good. someone used the old ass car in another topic.

1964

Some people may. Many will have like notifications turned off and never notice. Or just won’t care about a counter going up.

1965

Sure, which is totally fair. I was mostly just curious where the wind was blowing on the issue. Maybe Tom will do a little poll after the 15th.

1966

That’s… pretty extreme.

1968

So how many times do you plan on editing this?

1969

Just the once for now. Is that OK with you?

1970

Sorry, for whatever reason I can only communicate in Devin today.

1971

I am sure you know it notifies me every time you have, 3 times so far. It’s not like I asked it to notify me when you posted, when you added your gif, when you quoted me and so on.
