Drabble by Kevin Fagan for July 30, 2020

I don’t like it

It maybe hilarious to you Drabble, but others may beg to differ.;-D

I’m in this comic and I don’t like it

Welcome to the club Ralph, welcome to the club…

Hilarity is in the eye of the beholder, Ralph!

I wouldn’t know what that’s like.

It’s gotta be better than hilarious to beat some of the comments on GoComix. . .

Or they get offended and go off on you.

This illustrates the whole issue of “likes” but not “dislikes.”

Did he get no likes because

A) No-one even saw it or

B) 1,000,000,000 people saw it and they all hated it?

Having a “like” and a “dislike”, you can tell if there’s 4 likes and no dislikes, then apparently it wasn’t seen by all that many people but of those who did see it, the ones that had expressed an opinion had a favorable one (not everyone will rate everything but only four ratings means the total viewers was probably only in the tens or hundreds at most.) But if there’s 4 likes and 4,000 dislikes, then you know it was seen by a lot of people (probably in the tens or hundreds of thousands) and they generally had a poor opinion of it.

Welcome to my world. :D

Face it Ralph! Nobody gets your jokes either.

Gotta get my likes on GoComics! Zuckerburg figured that out a long time ago!

Just because you think it’s hilarious doesn’t mean it is.

And then one that you don’t think is particularly good will get an amazing number of likes. Actually, I think unpredictability is mostly a good thing… ☺

Re-post early the next day, more might see it.

I have made comments that I thought were somewhat inspired, and had no reply

I’ve also been surprised by comments that I didn’t think were near so great getting bunches of likes and replies

We internet folks be a fickle bunch

I hate it when Yahoo won’t let me comment!

Well obviously, then, you are not funny.

Ralph should have told us what he wrote so we could judge it. Instead, he just wants us to feel sorry for him, when we have no idea if he is funny or not!

They’re probably considering the source.

I feel for ya, Ralph. I have left funny posts in this very forum and been ignored! But I soldier on …

I feel the same way when I leave a witty comment here, and no one “likes” it. :-D

I feel your pain, Ralph

I think some people go overboard and click like to just about everything (especially if it’s a reply to one of their own posts). I only click like if something really stands out to me.

And why should you be able to click like on your own post? Seems redundant.

Not everyone has to like you, or your comments.

“Hilarious,” is, for the most part, interpretive.

Yep doesn’t everone!?!? and yes I am gonna like my own post just because!!
