What Does 'Smash That Like Button' Mean?

[ CREATOR CTA ][ ATTENTION ECONOMY ]

FORCE: Attention EconomyUNIVERSE: Early Creator EconomyCLUSTER: Creator Call-to-Action Grammar

An exaggerated, hyperbolic variant of the standard like-and-subscribe call-to-action, using violent-sounding language for comedic emphasis to ask viewers to like a video.

REAL-WORLD EXAMPLE

"If you enjoyed this, smash that like button!"

LORE & ORIGIN

Emerged from gaming and let's-play YouTuber culture in the early 2010s as a deliberately over-the-top escalation of the plain "please like" request, becoming a genre-defining catchphrase eventually parodied as much as it was used sincerely.
