useless Posted July 25, 2014 Share Posted July 25, 2014 I think there's a reason why there is a 'like' button and not an 'unlike' button and that's probably something to do with 'likes' being addictive and attracting traffic to sites as people fill up on their narcissism, where as I suppose 'unlikes' would have the opposite affect. Narcissism is probably the wrong word but something like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think people are posting merely to collect likes i always think of likes as appreciation .... if I read a post and it makes me chuckle i figure the least I can do is give the fella a "like" 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted July 25, 2014 Share Posted July 25, 2014 (edited) I don't mean specifically this site it's probably more of a Facebook thing I think there has even been books written on the subject. Personally I'm not greedy with the likes I like every post I haven't got some philosphy or rationale behind it. Edit: Don't think I explained the second sentence very well. reading it back not even sure what I meant. Edited July 25, 2014 by useless Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ingram85 Posted July 25, 2014 Share Posted July 25, 2014 Ignoring people? Unlike button? Gee folks, let's be positive and let's face it, with such a positive atmosphere on VT who would need any of that negative stuff! Go off topic! Yay everyone. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AVFCforever1991 Posted July 25, 2014 Share Posted July 25, 2014 I only have one person on my ignore list, the most annoying, ignorant idiot who posts here. I bet he's posting in this thread right now, in fact. Probably saying something like: 'It wouldn't let me ignore myself ' 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dAVe80 Posted July 25, 2014 Share Posted July 25, 2014 The fact that if you type "Paul's Boutique" into Google, you get pointed towards some chavvy bags and coats, before the Beastie Boys album. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
