I totally understand what you mean and would really enjoy discussing those uses of "click like" or "comment below" :). 

I think they can work I just am unfamiliar with what situations we use them for, when it's not redundant etc. 

Otherwise LGTM.

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:

Have you ever looked up a celebrity on Wikipedia? Who?

All in favor? Opposed?

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.

I'm not sure I like "Click like if..." personally, seems kind of cheap. And surely everyone's looked up a celebrity one time or another?

Thoughts? Engagement is a goal right now, and getting our large audience of mostly readers more involved.
