Thumbs UP!

Why are people so desperate for the thumbs up? Whether its on YouTube or Facebook, an extreme majority of people type up comments/statuses (that are usually try-hard and lame) just for others to give them a thumbs up or a "like".

Here are a few of examples:

Like my status and I'll rate you out of 10. (The most common case on Facebook)

or something like this:

Thumbs up if you agree! (Very common on YouTube)

or even...

"Likee and I'll post what I love about you (:"      

(this is an actual status copied straight from Facebook, at the same time i was writing this post. I will not mention who wrote this status just because I feel sad for them...or actually because you will not know who this is so it really doesn't matter. )

Now do you see how desperate these thumbs-up-seeking comments sound??


I admit that there have been times where I have done the same thing. But trust me my comments were nowhere as desperate (do i sound very desperate?). 


I guess that it's a sin we all commit at times. We probably do it because it makes us feel good about ourselves or because it gives us the false impression that we're popular. Do not get me wrong, many comments that have thumbs up's are very funny and smart. 

If you post comments that seek likes, then maybe its time for you to stop, for you must realise it does not make you more popular in any way. Keep posting awesome comments, but just try not to make them sound that desperate!!

Thumbs up if you agree with my blog.
(just joking :D)
