    Man, forbidding yourself from giving any "likes" on Twitter is a great way of forcing yourself to get off Twitter...

        1. When they bring back the like button they can write it off as losses do to that choice. That also gives him plausible deniability in any future lawsuit brought by advertisers around making sales on a massive say 20% automation. I mean thats wire fraud isn't it.

        They must know something about pathologies around “like” with bots etc. I’m guessing likes wreak havoc.

        The other relevant question is - would you stay on twitter if other people never liked *your* tweets?
