What is the point of the ’thanks’ button?

I mean if no else, other than the poster can see it, and not even know who liked it, what the actual point is.

I wish it was an actual like / dislike button that was for all to see…

Hi OP,

We’ve had many requests over the years for a like button on Mumsnet but shared concerns that some have expressed about it being a bit reductive and possibly turning discussions into a popularity contest.

So we introduced 'hidden gratitude', where users can thank posters for a particularly helpful or generous post. It's an easy way to show appreciation but as the name suggests, there will be no publicly visible 'like' count, only the user who has been given thanks can see it.
