And whenever you "like" a music artist it pretends you like the corporation that sells you their music, even though you hate their guts.

I want a button that says, "this is quite possibly the dumbest thing you've posted today" or just "idiot."

Very often someone will post something in Facebook like a relative passing away or child having an illness.

You want to sympathize by pressing Like...but you don't really want to say "I Like that your Grandpa passed away".

Do you?

I realllllly want all those metastasizing social-media floating button bars to die die die. Sometimes they're just in the way of reading; sometimes they really mess with print-to-.pdf if they're the only thing the print function sees.

AdBlock can make some of 'em disappear, but not others.

Don't like it: don't use Facebook. I don't and my life is richer and more rewarding for it.

I don't have to limit my time on facebook because I'm too busy painting frowny emoticons on my cave walls.

They don't have a dislike button because that would end relationships. Fuck advertising; whether or not that's their reason for being, nobody will use FB if your shit is downvoted like a youtube comment.

Dislike buttons are a nightmare to police and they are the first functionality after Alert to be abused. That translates into being a huge CS money suck. You gotta know that when both marketing & CS don't like something (not as common as you might think) it goes way down the dev list.

Facebook needs a "Shut up" button.

You know what's better than a sympathize button on a post that someone's grandma has died? Leaving a fucking comment telling the person you sympathize.
