Now that's a nice way to get more Facebook likes

Not sure if many share this view but, I find it disrespectful when people or companies ask you to follow or like them without any emotional connection in place, so to speak.

Especially if you're not offering a single compelling reason, it feels like I'm being taken for a fool.

It's taken out of context heading straight to it though. It's actually only linked to (afaict) as part of one of their portfolio pieces here http://animade.tv/work/smile

It feels creepy and needy. Like the online equivalent of "hey, I know we just had coffee, but I think we should decide how many kids we want to have."

I also don't Facebook will think highly of the fact that they hide the like button once you have pressed it.

I definitely agree and tone plays a huge part in my personal perception of whether it's disrespectful or not.

That being said, I think it speaks to the actual value of likes. Clearly this approach works for some people and they want that number to go up.
