It's supposed to represent optimism, but its distorted and sickly appearance suggests to me, more, a lack of optimism: trying to make like everything is OK when, really, it's not.
It's almost like a parody of a thumbs-up and, by extension, a parody of optimistic sentiment.
A good, self-confident, well-formed thumb would have felt more optimistic to me, but perhaps this thumb is actually a more honest symbol of the times.

I don't understand Art, but I know a few people I'd be positively glad to see that jabbed up the back end of.
I don't know much about art but I know what I hate and I don't hate this.
I don't hate it, and I'm glad it's there. I was just musing as I ate my sandwich.
Reminds of that X-files episode with the elongated fingerprints by the chap who could slide under doors.
The X-files never inspired me with optimism, more a curious sense of a lack of knowledge and being relatively powerless in the grander scheme of things... ...surprisingly similar to how I feel as a citizen of Britain now really.
They used a proctologist as the model...
