# Regarding the ‘Like’ Button

You can *like* something and there is nothing you have to do about it. It is an effortless act and there are no explanations required or expected. And people actually don’t care for what you *like*. They are interested in what you *care for*, because caring isn’t pointless, it means you take a stand.
