Re: Thumbs up

"thumbs up are cheap and the only effect is a momentary hit that you did something good, when in fact, your clicks mean absolutely nothing"

Its about recognising that someone else has done something good, not that by giving a thumbs up that we are doing something good. Although you seem to reference the endorhpin function of the brain I would suggest that this is misplaced in this context.

Your post isn't patronising but I think it's a little bit dumb. I don't think anyone thinks their click will oust Xi Jinping or better the treatment of Chinese Muslims but it's nice to recognise someone elses effort on the forum.
