I would rather have no comments at all than a bunch of "like" or "+1"

Which is why I like the idea, essentially. The number of comment notifications I get from suggestions posts that don't display at all in my Gmail inbox because they're duplicate content, because yet another person has said +1 is annoying. A simple button allows people that want to just do that to do so, and reserves commenting for actual substantive comments.

I only ever saw that LJ feature used in suggestions, and it was so poorly implemented I suspect most people never knew it existed, I had to ask someone how to do it, which means the UI was useless, which it was. I think I used it once and then decided it wasn't worth it, ever.
