I see post on twitter where someone says that someone close to them died, their wife has cancer or shit like that. It gets thousands of likes. Wouldn't it more logical to dislike it? You like their misery Xd? I'm I the only one that sees the irony in this? I find it funny. I think about small random shit like that a bit too much

@a1ephy Things like that are all over the place especially in words. You could argue that because it's called likes that by clicking the like button they must like what happened. It all comes down to interpretations. I think the likes is free to be more than one interpretations. And, I think the interpretations relies on why the user clicked the like button. Maybe they did like the post for what happened or maybe there heart goes out to them or maybe they like to know what bad things are happening in the world. Without knowing there intent for clicking the like button we are left with the problem of free interpretations which varies instead of certain interpretations that does not. I think dislikes would just be another button open to free interpretations from a solo observer. I think that would be good. It gives us another set of interpretations to work out at least the certainty of free interpretations. Though we can never be certain of all likes or dislikes meaning one thing given the multitude of users but we can get closer to the certainty of the free interpretations by also deriving from this new set the dislike would provide. We can be certain each button holds multiple meanings and we can be certain of which to a a degree with some thought but we can never be certain all likes or dislikes equate to meaning one thing except it being a varied. At least I don't think...

@a1ephy I'm such a idiot I spoke as if the like button and the dislike button have that degree of fluidity I'm guessing there mostly static in the algorithm. I'm unsure if adding a fluid dislike and like button would be a algorithm nightmare. Unless when you click dislike or like button a small box opens up with free interpretations they derived from data that you can click. That may solve the problem. But, since like and dislike are mostly static in the algorithm I'm confused and tired already of the problem you specified... I'm unsure which button I would chose if something bad was happening on the video... Ain't no telling now if the dislike button had the same algorithm pushing power as the like button because it was disabled and I don't remember. They should just make it fluid there algorithm would benefit greatly from it and the confusion would be solved. But, that would be the most extra thing to do. Who wants a big box pop up. Well that cured my boredom for a good minute.
