You already know that I am in favor of the like button. I consider it favorable because in current times, those of us who are fans of old hardware, as they say in Spanish "we already have gray hair", and many times life does not give you time to investigate or delve into everything we want, we see a post with very interesting information but that requires spending time if you want to apply it, they are not cooking recipes, they are sometimes engineering projects. So you can't just write and leave a comment, because you need to reread it and have a calm moment to understand it and ask questions. Then a "like" shows the author that you like their work, that you appreciate it, and then I save the link, I subscribe so as not to lose the thread, and when my life allows me to dedicate time to it, I will return there and then I will raise my questions. doubts or my results.
I'm going to give an example, do you know the series "Dark" that aired on Netflix? I liked it a lot, but it is a series that you have to watch calmly, follow the thread so as not to lose the plot. Well, its creators released another series of the style. 1899. The first season aired on Netflix and its continuation was canceled. The reason? Well, Netflix counts the success of the series in the number of views in the first week of broadcast. Since Dark fans knew that by 1899 they had to pay attention, they waited for a "good" moment to see it, and since that moment was after the first week, the series was canceled. If the series had had a "like" button, fans would surely have gotten tired of clicking the button, and later would have looked for the perfect time to watch it. But since Netflix did not receive feedback on what 1899 meant for its subscribers, it canceled it "believing" that it was not liked.
A survey of the average age of the users would be needed to see that we are not a usual control group, we are a profile of ages and tastes anchored in the year 2000 (I say this for OS9).
Thank you for the effort you make in keeping the forum active.
