Enjoy

Answer:

LIKE

Hint:

Think of a common social media button that shows approval without the intensity of "love."

Explanation:

"Enjoy" is a straightforward clue where the answer is a simpler, more casual synonym. "Like" fits because it’s a common way to say you enjoy something, especially in everyday speech—think of phrases like "I really like this song." There’s no hidden wordplay here; it’s a direct definition where the answer is a shorter, less formal version of the clue.
