Counterpoint: I am far more selective about what I retweet than what I like. This has the effect of increasing the signal to noise ratio for my (tens of) followers. Treating retweets and likes as the same thing discards the value of my filtering.

That's why I used to dislike it, too. But I think a lot of people recognize that likes are noisier signal and don't hold people to the same standard for them, so it allows a bit more honesty. That could be just me though.

I think I agree. Now I have send tweets to DM or slack for private bookmarking, but that might be for the better too.
