I am not interested in the thumb system in any shape or form.
My only suggestion would be a facility to mask them on my profile so I don't even have to see them.
@ponderablesaid If you don't see the thumbs, it is easier not to care.
First, I don't care, as it happens, about me personally getting red thumbs.
Second, my suggestion to the website is to get rid of the clickbait-toy-for-children feature because it strikes me as being a clickbait toy for children, so to speak.
Third, you haven't really addressed my point despite using "Quote" to respond to what I said.
The primary people complaining about "thumbs" feedback, are trolls and a-holes.
They prefer a system where their deliberate provocations suffer exactly ZERO consequences: Believing that everyone else has as much time on their hands.
The thumbs system is an efficient measure of feedback for those with little time to post responses.

I am neither a troll nor an "a-hole" [thanks for your exquisite banter] and yet I think that anonymous thumbs are an infantile site feature. What do you think of the Venda-Ponderable idea whereby people can just opt out of seeing the thumbs up and thumbs down?

As I've always said: I believe everyone is entitled to their opinion. 🙂

Sure, if "opting-out" would make you feel better.
Venda's motives are pure: I believe he's honestly annoyed by thumbs.
@woofwoofsaid You think that everyone should be required to publicly reveal disliking you and your posts while hoping that this might cease them from doing so.
I don't think there is any secret about who dislikes me; do you think there is? The red thumbs make no difference to me or how I post.
I'd be surprised if anyone was affected - in terms of how they post - by red thumbs. They'd be juvenile if they did let it affect them.
Which, in my book, makes the thumbing facility an infantile site feature. How is a mechanism for registering secret indications of "disliking" someone on a website for adults anything other than infantile?
