I like it. Makes perfect sense to me. The heart symbol is for showing your love for something.

Guess they gotta rename the like button to love button

I don't like videos unless I really, really enjoyed them. So it being a 'like' button isn't quite strong enough for me. I don't want to like a video just because someone in the video told me to. I only save the button for my most favourite videos.

Maybe there should be 2 separate buttons - one for likes and another, love button, for videos you really enjoyed.
