I feel there are more benefits to the like button than the assumed non-benefit of people being "lazy" to write up posts. When you see that little notification pop up when you return the Boards it shows you that there's some activity and life going on and encourages posting (i.e spamming) the Boards, which then gives you the result you're looking for 40oz. For others who are more shy it could mean to them that someone out there gives a little fuck about what they're on about and encourages them to contribute and open up just that little bit more.

For me likes mostly just increase the stress level. For example, if a post right next to mine has more likes I can feel a bit humiliated ("so that guy is more loved than me?"). Or sometimes I get used to getting likes whenever I write something, and then when I suddenly don't get any I might start worrying that I said something dumb. It's never a huge huge deal for me, but still I hate how this system makes me treat the forums more as a popularity contest/competition. Maybe people with higher self-esteem than mine don't experience this crap.

I don't know if I would prefer keeping the like button or not but either way it sometimes takes up a few too many seconds of my thinking so getting rid of it might help me out there. I also sometimes feel like I might have said something dumb so hopefully I'm getting better with those things and all things like I believe I am. I have to keep reminding myself to not be so attached to such things.
Anyway, remember to smash that like button fam.

No offence @memfis bro, but a lot of things appear to increase your stress level. Also people of all types of self-esteem are prone to self-doubt, even people that may appear to you to have their shit together. I believe a common factor in that is over thinking things. An old mate of mine was fond of saying "stop thinking, solve all of your problems." He had good advice, but never took it himself haha.

For others who are more shy it could mean to them that someone out there gives a little fuck about what they're on about and encourages them to contribute and open up just that little bit more. Interesting point. I don't believe any of it but it's still an interesting point! I get the feeling that opinions are weighted with the representation of the people who like them. I'd rather everyone just not be aware of how popular or unpopular their posts really are so everyone has a fair shot at believing they are being heard or that theyre opinion has value. Something that is disgusting to me about doomworld is that someone can say something really nasty about another person or something a person did, and it might not be a big deal because its coming from one person, but then a bunch of people like the post and its like a crowd of people saying the same thing at once. That's really fucked up. It's not a big deal here because this place is pretty small at the moment, but people are registering here more often and it could grow into a significant problem down the line. Not stroking my own dick here, but I do feel like I get a lot of likes for a lot of the posts I write, even when I feel undeserving of them. Sometimes I write posts that don't get a lot of likes and it feels like a loss. @battlekorbi for example, doesn't get a lot of likes for his posts for seemingly no reason (I guess just because they are a lot to read) and recently he felt like an outsider here and almost left for good. The amount of likes he gets on his posts has no bearing on how much I like him, but it feels like he is disliked here when he sees his posts almost always fall short of likes compared to other people. I like him and value his opinions on stuff a lot though, no matter how eccentric and winded they may be! It's needless competition. It becomes this weird squirelly game that people have to win at. If you're an anxious person; and most of us are, I don't want anybody wasting their energy on shit like that.

I have a feeling the "like system" is a way to boost/destroy egos. Kind of like what Memfis mentioned in his post.

A boost is most welcome for me considering that my self-esteem is always close to 0.

Well let's just change the name of the like button to something we can all live with; something less redolent of facebook faggotry.
Replace it with the Blowjob button. Let's see you guys put your money where your mouth is.

The place feels comfy with the "like" system... I dunno.. no one here puffs up their posts to be pretentious lukewarm globally "likable" posts anyway. How am I supposed to feel loved if no one likes my posts?

Because I tell ya often enough deathevo, don’t get needy bro!
Closing argument about the like button before 40 sends it to the gallows: DON’T BE A CUNT Along the same line as what deathevo mentioned is that this ain’t social media, meaning no one here is spamming pictures of dogs to fish likes. This is antisocial media and the likes help to see who’s on the same page as you. It’s good to know where the good brothers (and sister/s?) are at. I rest my face you cunter.

Why don't we rename the "like" as a "reaction"????
And you can give the post a soulsphere, or a megasphere, or an invuln. sphere, or an invisibility sphere????
?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

How about if it ain't broke don't fucken fix it?
Also how about cunts just fucken post more stuff, about any subject at all? This ain't Doomworld, no one is going to get on your arse about derailing, double posting, stuff that's not Doom, what the fuck ever. Just post more stuff so we can interact more, read more, and then 40oz won't have the time on his hands to worry about this kind of shit. Don't worry if your posts aren't getting liked or commented on. It will be there later for people to check out. If your post really sucks, there will be someone to let you know about it. YOU ARE THE COMMUNITY. If you’re not posting there is no community. Make me proud you good cunts you.

I like having the button personally. Sometimes I don't want to type up a bunch o bullshit just to essentially say "I agree" or "I appreciate what you've done here" or whatever. Maybe it's lazy, but oh well.

AGREE 1000000000% While I detest everything about "social" media and especially the Like button, which makes me feel dirty every time I use it - kind of like doing the same, only with a prostitute - I must admit that Glen has a point!

No. All threads that are garbage or violation of the rules gets sent to the trash. No Doomworld-tier wall of shame subforum.

Maybe if people stopped shaming themselves then we wouldn't need to have a fucking photo album of people pissing their pants in public. Until we reach that particular utopia, Post Hell serves a purpose.
