Founder and chief executive of Facebook, Mark Zuckerberg says that Facebook is developing a ‘dislike’ button for Facebook.“It’s important to give people more options than just ‘like’ to help express empathy and sympathy … Not every moment is a good moment” says Zuckerberg
My initial thoughts were, ‘Who the heck wants to have something they said be disliked?!’ The internet can be a cruel world at times. Trust me, I’m in the media daily so I’ve developed a thick skin to negativity, but sometimes it CAN be a challenge to not come to digital blows with some folk. Apparently I was only echoing the thoughts of a Facebook engineer from 2012 when he responded to why Facebook didn’t have a dislike button:
“While many users love the idea of Facebook adding a dislike button, I don’t think there are many users who are dying to have their own content disliked,” the engineer wrote. “While there are posts where a dislike button could be used to express sympathy or commiseration, I would estimate that the vast majority of its uses will be just ambiguous negativity that would be demoralizing to the poster.”
I think this will cause more problems
Yep
I think both, but mostly problems. Worldstar will definitely show increased rate of fighting videos, over somebody disliking a post. lol
Cause a lot problems
I can see lots of bullying…just put up a sympathy button
Problems
Here comes more drama..some people can’t handle constructive criticism either..js
The FB TOMFOOLERY will reach epic levels as if it already hasn’t, folk are already beefing and at times killing each other over social media…..so stand by for stand by
There will be a lot of deleting and blocking going on…lol! If I don’t like it then I dont click like, I keep scrolling right past it.
Cause problems. Don’t like it? Don’t click like. It is going to start all kind of fb beef. There are already too many. Folk are going to be posting pics of their babies and as soon as someone dislikes it all hell is going to break loose. Lbvs
They need a show up button! Show up in a living room, slap slob out their mouth, for posting stupid shit!! Ijs
