The flip side of this would be , shouldn’t there be a bit of a sounding board to let people know if their opinion is or isn’t shared? An extreme example of this would be the Freedom Convoy claiming “All of Canada supports us!” The fk we do! Where’s the unlike button so you clowns can see how wrong you are.
Having said that, I understand that social media isn’t that clean cut, and the like/unlike is “influenced”. I would like to think a community like CP is a little more “balanced” if the majority “disliked” a bad take. For example a post of “Backlund is the worst player ever!” - 300 dislike this post, 1 like this post. Yeah, you have a bad take, stop pushing it.
