Endless/Nameless Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 Facebook's new emotional like button makes me want to spam the angry face out of spite. Why did Mark Zucky have to complicate it?? I don't want to sit on FB trying to figure out what emotion I feel about someone's post. If I felt that strongly about it, I'd comment. If they really wanted to add some functionality, they could have just added a dislike button. It's much simpler and more intuitive to just express a positive or negative. Some people would protest because a dislike might hurt someone's feelings, and that's a somewhat valid point, but i dunno, some people on there could use a little criticism I'd say... OR, they could just have just left it as it was. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willow Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 I really don't see much wrong with it. people will either use it or not I read an article earlier saying the reactions are a way to gather info on what ads to show you, which is nothing new either 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The whole personalized ad scheme is an attempt to milk as much money from you as possible. Corporatism at its best, which I find appalling Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And because it is only an attempt, they have to do it hundreds of times before I happen to click one... and even then probably by an accident 4 minutes ago, willow said: I'm not really sure how it would work though unless they latch on to key words in posts you react to and how If I were a web designer, this is how I would do it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sarcastic Coffeecup Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 (edited) Next time there's someone with a post about their GF or people getting married I'll just post the angry face. Every post about personal loss will get the "lol" one. I like the update. No seriously it's garbage.

Sutekh_the_Steak Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 I just use facebook for organising meetups, or groupchats with friends. I rarely like or post anything. I guess this is kinda neat though for people who want to express themselves more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lol, I was waiting for that comment... I didn't expect many people here to be regular FB users, even I only use it minimally.

I kind of feel like the update was meant more for mobile users because trying to translate android emoticons to Apple emoji and vice versa didn't always work so I kind of wish there were more options because I really need a side eye emotion 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrDingo Posted February 28, 2016 Share Posted February 28, 2016 Hello, peasants! It's me, your lord and saviour Mark Zuckerberg. I've been hearing suggestions that Facebook should get a dislike button. So I have granted your wish! You can now respond to posts using emoticons nobody wanted nor asked for By the way, there's no dislike button See you! Enjoy~ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
