Am I the only one that finds it odd that people “like” bad
news or deaths on Facebook? Just this morning I saw a posting about a landlord
in the Bronx caught discriminating against black apartment seekers. It got three
likes! I commented – “What’s there to like about this?”
Someone died? People “like” it. Are they liking that they
learned the news or do they “like” that person dead?
There’s been a lot of liking surrounding the passing of Maya
Angelou but posts I’ve seen are expressing her accomplishments, her bon mots,
for those I wish there were a “love” button.
Question: What do you think? What do you “like”?

Like or not means they like the content of the article. They appreciate the news about Maya Angelou. Don't take like or dislike so literal.
I think that's pointed out in the post that people are liking Maya's thoughts and writing, which makes sense.
My point is if "like" is appropriate when there's a mention of death or bad news without added information or thoughts.
