Franchise: yeah! (miiverse)

When Nintendo's Miiverse was still active, its equivalent to "likes" in other social media services such as Twitter was a "Yeah" button under every post, coupled by a small icon of a person with one of six facial expressions that matched the tone of the post as chosen by the poster, as well as the end punctuation (which avoided implications such as "liking" posts about misfortunes). The default was a smile ("Yeah!"), which has become the most associated with the button and Miiverse as a whole. The others were a laugh (still "Yeah!"), a wink ("Yeah"), a frustrated grimace, a frown (both "Yeah..."), and a look of shock ("Yeah!?")

In June 2024, on Twitter, a user's list of liked tweets (and the list of users who liked any specific tweet) became private, to universally-negative reception. In protest, people have substituted it with replying to posts with an image of the Yeah! button, occasionally making their own variants of it.
