Those are good points. I suppose people can click like to just indicate yes. My experience is that online and social media veterans bristle a bit at "click like," but a lot of people also do it. Our audience is very diverse, and seems to embrace basic common denominators. So I'd rather not rule it out uniformly. But I see the point today. So:
I also kinda agree. I watch a lot of youtube and it might be personal but the whole action of asking for engagement kinda turns me off ("subscribe if you want more content, click like to let me know what you think", etc).I think the proposed question "have you ever looked up a celebrity on Wikipedia?" is sufficient enough to get engagement; maybe even ask why or what did you find out to the question.On Thu, Oct 15, 2015 at 9:35 AM, Joe Sutherland <jsutherland@wikimedia.org> wrote:I'm not sure I like "Click like if..." personally, seems kind of cheap.
