alt Hacker NewsWhat's funny to me is that the amount of "same here", "+1" comments are still prominent even if GitHub introduced an emoji system. It's like most people intentionally don't want to use that.

People on average are pretty incompetent.

There is no emoji for "me too", if you think about it.
So what should one pick? The rocket, the thumbs up?
Also the emoji won't turn into a notification to steal the dev attention and make him fix the thing lok

Probably ego thing. With emoji you’re just an increment in a counter, but with a comment you can see your whole profile.
Yeah me too.
(Just kidding.) Some of it is unawareness of the 'subscribe' button I believe, occasionally you'll see someone tell people to cut it out and someone else will reply to the effect of wanting to know when it's fixed etc. But it's also just lazy participation, echoing an IRL conversation I suppose, that you see anywhere - replied instead of up votes on Reddit and to a slightly lesser extent here for example.
