I agree w/ how Fango put it. I feel that the thanks button has made it a lot cleaner in the majority and easier to find new stuff, and not a bunch of new posts that just say thanks.
Those same people that would do that back then now use the thanks button, and sometimes still continue to make a post.
It also opens up for those that dont like to talk that much in general to give thanks w/ out having to make a post. With the ease of hitting the button, and it gives a better understanding just how many people appreciated it. I know a few times people would have made a post in the past and get no replies to their post and would get EXTREMELY offended that no one liked their content for that very reason.
So while the posts have dropped commenting on content, the number of thank yous over all have increased a ton!
