What do you think to this?

There isn’t much to it ! I’ve heard that

It's Yorkshire but doesn't it perfectly illustrate how it's not always Americanisms or text speak or yoof slang which change language but can be regional stuff spoken locally for years now becoming widespread through social media.

Not American, Northern.
"I don't think much to it" could come straight out of Coronation St.

I agree- we say this up here and don't care what other people think to it!

Thank you- I felt I was a voice in the wilderness!

What do you think of this ?
What do you think about this ?
Never heard anyone ask ‘What do you think to this?’

I'm from up north and may well have said it at some point.

I also say "What do you think to this?" and "What do you think about this?"

I can't see anything wrong with either form and suspect I've probably used both at different times without ever giving the matter any conscious thought.

I have never heard what do you think to this, so it must surely be a very localized dialect form.

I was brought up to say either what do you think of this, or about this. In the west of Scotland you can think on something, too. Especially in the usage I was think on what you said, where thinking on conveys that considering theother person's opinion,.

I might say either but I did live in Yorkshire for many years

Same here, on both points.

My apologies to all the Northern grans on GN.

Well I ve never lived anywhere near Yorkshire I mEast Anglia and that’s what I would say ‘what do you think of this’ sounds right I think ‘to’ sounds ok as well I might even say ‘what do you think about this’

Well am originally from North Lancs and they don’t say this, must be a Yorkshire thing. No wonder they lost the war of the roses 🤣

Oooh yes I stand corrected! Apologies to all Northerners. I don't and wouldn't say it - I'm happy to hear it in a proper northern accent.

I think both versions sound ok and could be correct.

I must admit that’s what I would say what do you think of this

American, of course. Don't get us all started!!

Is it an Americanism?
Have heard it but not very often.
It sounds wrong.

I agree with you too.

I agree with you.
