Revisions to Feature test: Thank you reaction [closed]

We discovered that “thanks” appears in 1 of 6 comments left under answers. Although it’s less common on questions, the percentage of “thanks” comments have continued to slowly increase over the last few years

Now in addition to the "thanks" in the comments (I doubt they will disappear¹), we will also have the like and I guess people will slowly forget the upvote and accept feature.

we're introducing this clutter-free way for users to just say "thanks" to others for taking the time to answer questions.

If I had to say "thanks" then I should logically upvote the answer. Many people simply take the time to provide a bad or wrong answer. Why do I have to thank them for taking the time to answer?

People might also find me impolite because I didn't say thanks to someone who provided an answer to my question or I myself can feel upset because the OP didn't say thanks to my effort. Well, a lot of emotion for a website focused on content and not people.
