when you look at some of the comments on NL,you’ll find that most of them are 3-8 word, one liners that sound like they came out of a bad sitcom. Many of them are senseless, vulgar and add little real value to the content. Some users will even copy and paste a successful comment to another thread just to increase their ‘likes' count. Some will outright ask for a ‘likes’ to acknowledge assent. The ‘like’ button has not just turned nairaland comments into a mindless game, but it has created an endless obsession for ‘likes’ votes. Also, it degrades the comment quality of a website. It distracts users from discussing the real topics and issues at hand. Instead of reading insightful and original thoughts that teach something new, users read useless comments from people trying to score likes’ points. It has put more importance on voting than discussing.therefore the admin should create a ''dislike'' button so that users can dislike comments that are insane/useless and it will represent the other side of the argument.
