"Love" this

A ”Like” on Facebook means far more than we’d like it to. It’s really a terrible signal because it can mean so many different things:

1. I read this.
2. I saw this.
3. I appreciated this.
4. I acknowledge that you tagged me because you thought I would appreciate this. Thanks, bro.
5. I’m liking everything in my feed cause I’m half asleep, Facebookin’ it in bed.
6. I agree with this.
7. IM ON THE FACEBOOKS! CLICK CLICK CLICK
8. This is the greatest thing I’ll never read.
9. I’m sorry for your loss.
10. This was an accident. I really didn’t mean to Like this. My Like will disappear suddenly and without warning, leaving you wondering why. Here, let me comment explaining why I revoked my Like. No, that’s a terrible idea. Let me delete this comment, too. Ok. Everything’s perfectly all right now. We’re fine. We’re all fine now here, thank you.
