Can't recall who said it, or when, but the phrase "those addicted to the sound of their own keyboard" comes to mind 

I understand the sentiments behind your video, but wonder if doing away with the ability to simply acknowledge appreciation/understanding/agreement of something might not end-up cluttering threads with umpteen one-word posts which might ultimately be more frustrating? I get a little annoyed when viewing new content, to open a thread, scroll to the latest post, only to find it's either just a single, or at most 4 or 5 words which don't add anything of interest/insight or pose any question. Maybe there'd have to be a minimum word-count to enable a post to be made? 

Here on RMweb, we can see who it is that's "liked" something, so there's nothing to stop one from encouraging the liker to open-up and engage a little more.

In this age of the www and its multitude of platforms, mobile phones, texting, so-called social media etc, it seems that humanity is saying far more than it has ever done. Sadly though, a growing amount of it is (IMHO) of very little value
