    Twitter is rumored to be considering ditching the "like" button. In order to assess the merit of this idea, I am going to go a week without "liking" any tweets. Let's see how it goes!https://variety.com/2018/digital/news/twitter-dropping-like-button-1203006970/ …

        OMG not clicking "like" on tweets I like is too hard. I'm shortening my no-"like" period to two days. So much for willpower.

        "Likes" are pretty much worthless. Retweets are fabulous.

        The twitter algorithm is based on showing you more of what you like. How are they going to know what you like if you can no longer “like” anything???? I guess they will be prioritizing moremof what THEY like instead.

        It is true that mostly the disagree-ers comment. Maybe add a dislike button and save time. @Twitter

        I would like if there were two buttons, one that say this is an interesting tweet and one that says I agree with this tweet.

        dunno. the issue on twtr is the crazy comments, not the likes. dogthoughts gets more likes than anything, and no one hates it.

        So now we'll have to sift through a zillion "I agree" tweets? What we need are better tools to understand just who is tweeting at us, from where they are tweeting, and whether their activity indicates that they are bots.

        Liking posts is a great way to say "I read this post" for those of us with really low follower /following counts. (you being a superuser probably don't notice)

        I discover so much good stuff just from seeing the likes of people like you in my feed. I guess I'll be seeing more retweets now.

        There are only a few sources of endorphins in my life--harvesting the "likes" is one of them. How am I going to get my momentary euphoria fix now?
