Question: Reactions

Hey all! Just a minor question. What do you think of the current "reactions" (interesting, cool, provocative)? I was thinking about whether or not I should change them (i.e. "like", "dislike", etc.)? Just wondering what you're all thinking. If no one comments I'll just keep it as is! Thaaanks :)

I understand their presence, but there isn't a large enough body of people on The Wirebox for them to be effective. As it stands, I've measured about 3 regular users a week with the occasional unique user every 2-3 weeks (approx. 14-16 days). Ergo, when you see one or two reaction options chosen it doesn't make so much a difference whether or not it's there. In fact, I think comments carry more validity.

Thanks for your input! I understand what you're saying with not enough people posting/reading The Wire Box since, with few people, it may seem less likely for someone to press the buttons.

But I feel like it's an easier way to get someone's feelings across about a video if they don't want to comment (since not many people comment anyway :/). Also, if people like a video, the buttons are more likely to be used (upon my observations for the past few years).

I had a suggestion to change it to "original", "provocative" and "catchy". I think I'll just try that... It may or may not change anything but I'm willing to try it out! But thanks so much for your input... You're one of the few who comment, and I appreciate that :).
