Facebook's Like Button, Minimum Wage for Friends
As more and more of the Earth's population log on to Facebook with regularity, people are in touch with far flung friends made over the course of their lives. The beauty of this daily interaction it that people keep in touch, much more. Sadly, the majority of users (me included) too often rely on the like button to carry the whole of our communication. Great we have reconnected with friends from our lifetime and then we see a photo or link and hit the like button.
I actually timed it and I could move the mouse, hover over the like button, and click like in a matter of two seconds. Conversely, if I hit the comment button, clicked on the input box, typed a comment, and clicked post it took roughly 20 seconds. I am guessing based on my experience that people will spend 10-20 minutes on Facebook at any given time. I will further guess that they might click either like or comment 3-4 times per visit. This could happen 2-3 times per day.
Assuming you spend time commenting on all the posts you would be taking and extra 54 seconds to communicate with friends, you have known for years and decades, in some cases. Less that one minute can say so much more to the people you care about and the content they contribute. I believe people have adopted Facebook as the default social media since they are social creatures. They have taken the time to add a photo or share a link that has risen to the level of Facebook shareable, and they want there friends to see it.
I am reminded of the Chris Rock Album Born a Suspect. On it he discusses minimum wage relative to working at McDonalds. He says, "Making minimum wage means If could pay you less I would, but that S%#T is illegal." Hitting the like button is akin to communicating with dear friends and family with minimum wage/effort. To comment is to express how the post made you feel or a similar experience you can relate to further the discussion. Not every post deserves comments, however, offering them will make more people possibly comment, and allow us to socialize, which is the point of social media in the first place. Personally, I think the like button is a way for Facebook to lower network traffic and is a crutch for people.
Please comment and let me know if you agree and why.
