Thumbs up and thumbs down in my wishlist?

Does anyone know why there are thumbs up/thumbs down icons to the lower left of my saved houses in a wishlist?  If I click these, how does it affect my list?  It seems that if I put a home in my wishlist there wouldn't be a need for these thumbs?  Thanks!

Although there is no mention of the wish list thumbs icons in Airbnb Help (that I can find), @Andy327, I do think it has to do with the sharing aspect of wish lists. I took a look at "How do I manage my list of saved homes?", and the idea is to share the saved list with the friends/family who will be travelling with you, and have them comment, add and delete. So the thumbs may be a way to vote among the group. I don't remember seeing those thumbs before today, so thanks for mentioning them. Interesting.

I hope getting thumbs down-ed in someone's wish list by the picky sister-in-law does not affect a host's standing. Yikes. 

Thanks,  Lawrene - 

 

That occured to me, too, but they must be there by default because I haven't shared my list with anyone.  Probably too complicated to turn them on and off when homes are shared and not shared.

Personally, I'm using them to keep track of the differences between the places I REALLY like and the ones that are just meh but I don't want to remove yet.  That's just me though.  I like the feature.
