“Like” Button Shows Signs of Depression

Facebook’s iconic “Like” button has been showing tell-tales signs of a depression, according to followers in the industry. Years wishing for an Unlike sibling just like Like to stop the criticism from equal rights inactivists in the internet judgement industry has taken its toll. Lately, the button has been showing signs of lethargy, slowly following users around the internet hoping to get noticed. Like used to just hang out in the corner of the internet, confident that like finds Like, but like is now showing signs of use, especially to its younger, more vibrant peers. Friends lists from the internet had things like this to say:

“Like doesn’t like, like anything. It just sits outside of everything on the internet waiting to get noticed. It’s no shock that it’s blue.”– Youtube Up thumb.

“Like used to be the only way to like anything on the internet, now there’s lots more ways to like, and anyone can like things in their own way instead of using Like to like.” — Stumbleupon Badge.

“There’s is just not much to Like. This is 2014, and the binary choice system is very ’01.”  — Rotten Tomato’s Tomatometer.

“I wouldn’t even know how to search for Like anymore.” — Google’s Plus.

“What’s a like?”  — Reddit Arrow.

Like was the original when it came to internet savvy surfers proudly displaying their affinity for cutting edge news and life changing events, the personal preference for people showing personal preferences. Now Like is known for being attached to every terribly photographed picture, chain letter, or poorly written parody article the internet can come up with, and the bloom is off the rose. Like can see the writing on the wall, getting ready to live out its days with old friendsters the Napster Cat, Ask’s Jeeves, and the AOL Instant Messenger, the big players who timeservers forgot. When pressing the hard-pressed pressable on its date with the clouds, Like breaks into a rare bit of third-person optimism, “There’s still time for Like to be well-liked, Like can still be liked by Like-likers alike. Likers will again love Like.”
