[QUOTE="GDJMSP, post: 3414140, member: 112"]In reality I don't. There have been a great many posts where I said, in words, that I liked something. But what I do not and will not use is the Like button, and that's really your question. I've posted about that many times too. It's because it's used too lightly, or for the wrong reasons. Like buttons are something that has come about as a result of social media and it's become a tool used to promulgate popularity more than anything else in my opinion. As a symbol of popularity more than anything else. I mean people go around talking and bragging about how many likes they have - not so much here, but in social media. To me a like should be something sincere, used sparingly, and only when you truly do like a post or comment because of its content. Not just because you think it's funny, or because the post was made by a friend, or because you want others to give you likes in return. So when I like something, I'm not too lazy to actually type the words out and say it. When I like something, I want people to know I really like it, and that it means something coming from me. And I think, or hope anyway, that the way I do that accomplishes that goal.[/QUOTE]
