    To add to that. The reason this is noted is that Twitter only has upvotes and no downvotes. So, something could have hundreds of likes, which looks good, but when compared to a reply against it with thousands you can see the meassure of public disagreement.

      Yeah, but generally people like what has lots of likes because that’s what appears to be the thing to like so they like it.

      Like all those times you see some idiot upvoted or someone inexplicably downvoted. Once the herd starts stampeding, whether toward a cliff or a greeny pasture, it won’t stop.
