videos, most of them are just "thumbs up", "like", "+1", barely
counted only, unqualifiable (there's not even a thumb down).

+1 is actually a convenient shorthand when all that needs to be said is "I agree" or "me too" (especially now that the latter has taken on a highly charged meaning in the U.S.). It is especially popular in the IETF. It is not intended for situations that require explanation or details.
