like button
Digital endorsement icon
A like button is an interface element on social media platforms that lets users express approval or enjoyment of content with a single click.
The heart or thumbs-up icon has become ubiquitous online, functioning as a low-effort form of engagement: I liked her post but didn't comment.
The accumulated count of likes serves as a visible measure of popularity or validation.
