I like the Like, but I like comments better. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/confession-i-dont-like-it-when-people-just-like-something-i-believe-in-comments#post-246619 Fri, 03 Aug 2012 06:40:04 +0000 Andrea 246619@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love the "like" feature. It doesn't bother me if people don't leave a comment. Sometimes you don't have much to say, but you can still "like" it. I take so many pics of DD. You don't have to tell me "oh, she's so cute!" every single time. If you have something to say about a particular shot, then great, but otherwise, I appreciate the "like". </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/confession-i-dont-like-it-when-people-just-like-something-i-believe-in-comments#post-246617 Fri, 03 Aug 2012 06:38:45 +0000 heffalump 246617@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrbee: I guess I shouldn't complain. I rarely comment or like. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/confession-i-dont-like-it-when-people-just-like-something-i-believe-in-comments#post-246615 Fri, 03 Aug 2012 06:37:48 +0000 mrbee 246615@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@artbee: We old. Or at least, old school! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/confession-i-dont-like-it-when-people-just-like-something-i-believe-in-comments#post-246612 Fri, 03 Aug 2012 06:34:14 +0000 heffalump 246612@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I tell DH this ALL THE TIME! I hate it when people like my pictures on facebook. Of course I think it's nice that they like my pictures, but why can't they tell me why they like them? Comment! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/confession-i-dont-like-it-when-people-just-like-something-i-believe-in-comments#post-246542 Thu, 02 Aug 2012 23:45:37 +0000 mrbee 246542@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've noticed the new thing on social networks lately is to forgo dropping a comment and to just "like" something.</p> <p>I've been using Instagram for a while, and it's interesting: likes greatly outnumber comments. I guess I grew up in the "good old days" when people still regularly commented on each others' posts. These days though, the exact same posts will get dramatically fewer comments - even if 2x the number of people read it. Comments are so last decade apparently!</p> <p>Don't get me wrong: when I read other peoples' posts, I'd much rather just click the heart and move on. But I guess I hunger for the human connection of an extended comment. In the end though, I feel like I'm swimming upstream. Maybe I should stop commenting and embrace the like.</p> <p>How do you feel about likes, hearts and reblogs? Have you noticed a reduction in the number of comments you get on posts in recent years... and has that changed how you create content online? </p>
