Yeah, that's right; we're all over 80; we're haters who won't take suggestions; we're neanderthals; our tastes in formatting are a turn-off to anyone young and hip; there's no "Like" button, forcing people to actually form their own opinion instead of following the crowd — in short, we're just deplorable. Irredeemable.

Did you read what he said? He said that if there were a like button (I’m ok without it but I see the value), you could scroll the thread titles and see in a flash which ones were popular or controversial. You can always still read the whole thread. But a lot of people freep between activities and want to get a faster “gist” of what’s going on.

It isn’t that people would ONLY hit like instead of forming intelligent posts. It would be an additional tool.
