i remember having the public/private likes convo with @dwr.eth when warpcast was rolling out the “likes” tab on the profile. he said it was a discovery tool. i said it was a cancellation tool. we all know how every debate with @dwr.eth ends. interesting X will now move them private. thoughts?

my only thought this is this bozo is going to artificially boost engagement numbers to try to extract more money from advertisers since no one will be able to verify the stats anymore

imo it’s well worth keeping them public discovery via likes is super powerful likes are “public” regardless, someone can go look at the likers of a specific cast and see them, any client can use it, etc..

exactly... I think naval or someone said you can learn way more about someone on twitter by what they like as opposed to what they post ppl probably liking a lot of conservative stuff and getting canceled

Pondering this ourselves. Definitely a double-edged sword as it can inspire the wrong kind of behavior but also has a potentially valuable signal when navigating a sea of content. We're talking about this tomorrow on our new Space and how it impacts brands.

my likes tab tbh says little about what I like, i like things deliberately to tell the algo what to give me more of this includes things/ppl i disagree with cuz i want to curate my feed to have a certain diversity/range this may not be the case for everyone but canceling is not possible due to plausible deniability

Likes are one of my favorite discovery tools. They can be helpful with understanding somebodies identity but they represent a small piece of the whole Follows are my other favorite discovery tools. Elon also rolled that back, can only see last 20 or so follows on X.

such a bummer used it a lot for discovery. at some point was my highest source of alpha for new accounts/projects, links between certain personalities, and funny memes

RE: discovery v cancellation - it's both. The "like" button (ironically a heart) is outdated. The emoji style reactions on LinkedIn are more useful (and I feel horrifically dirty saying that). An auto-generated measure, tethered to replies (i.e., replier clout, keywords, and sentiment) would be interesting.

I don't see the difference between likes and bookmarks if they are both private

i think it’s a mistake for twitter. i use ‘likes’ to discover what people like. discovered so many hidden gems this way.

It’s great. I’ve avoided liking many things on x over the years to not be profiled or looked back on years later without context. Same for follows. X will still know, but better than everyone.

@tanishq
the question is — which is more likely and in higher volume, discovery or cancellation? for X however, this feels more elon-centered feature requests

bad move — likes help you stay away from echo chambers, leave you with better discoverability which otherwise you have missed out on hiding likes will force people to post more — content will become repetitive while showing likes was low effort, engagement-driven hook
