I despise the "like" button.

Marginalizes minority opinions.

Which, from time to time, are actually insanely insightful.

Carry on. (Don't "like" this)

I go to other sites for social media abuse.

APC about to become an echo chamber.

Likes aren't reality. Bank it.

("Oh wait, DBR doesn't have x1000 likes like from a poster "IDGAF!" who has lots of up votes! Best to go with IDGAF!!!!!" )

The site is free. Thanks for the insight. Sorry to see this is where it's going.


Mostly here for the "book thread." Where deliberate, thinking men post.

(I don't post a tenth of what I purchase, and read, in hard copy.)

Sigh.
