The introduction of Facebook’s ‘like’ option
When Facebook launched around 20 years ago, you could “poke” someone in your friends list to get their attention. When did the poke go away and the “like” option arrive? Was it … A.) 2007, B.) 2009, C.) 2010 or D.) 2012?
The answer: B.) 2009. Wow, 15 years of likes just flew by. They added the “love,” “wow” and “angry” reactions in 2016. So, why did they get rid of the poke? Because Zuck figured out he could sell what you “like” to ad and marketing companies. And, as you now know, every other social media platform since has ripped off the “like” concept.
