The Tumblr ‘Like’ Dilemma

nancysun:

Do you ever find yourself relating to a post about something generally sucky, like

  • Ouch! I have a boo boo
  • I feel sad, angry, frustrated
  • Something in my life sucks

And you gravitate towards the <3 button but then you’re like, wait, I don’t really want to like their state of misery and despair…I more want to give them a hug or pat on the back or something.

And then, not <3 it?

I feel like this often enough that the desire for a hang-in-there-buddy button needs to be addressed.

Just sayin’.

This is why I didn’t especially like the like button. Reblogging shows more effort and can provide better feedback
