I hit like to signal to other viewers (not the creator) that I think the content is good.

Why is your opinon important to other viewers, or why do you think your opinion is relevant to others?

this is my thing about social media in general. i don't mean for this to sound attacking, but more of an open discussion. i'm also not a big fan of "ratings" which is essentially what the likes/dislikes/views ratios equate.

HN is not a social media website. Try again. YT is also not a social media website. In case you meant that.

where's the media? it may be social, but not media

Social media doesn't literally mean "a place where media exists that can be social." It's much more than that.

Neither HN or YT are social media.
