X (formerly Twitter) hides like history and general complaints

OX (formerly Twitter) Public display of user like history has been removed. Measure by platform It aims for more privacy, especially when interacting with bolder content. It is useful to remember this lately The social network itself announced the publication of pornographic content there.

The news was announced last month by the company’s engineering director, Haofei Wang. According to him, many people stop liking posts with more daring content for fear of attracting public attention or even fear of being “trolled” by others.

It is worth noting that the option to hide like history is already available to Premium Plan subscribers. Despite everything, It is now available to all X users.

Yes, we do custom likes.

Public taste encourages wrong behavior. For example, many people stop liking potentially “edgy” content for fear of retaliation from trolls or to protect their public image.

Soon you’ll be able to enjoy it without… https://t.co/vPGllc4pB0

What was it like and how did it come about?

Until last Tuesday (11), a profile on “X” had a tab called “Likes” on its home page. Inside, It was possible to view the history of posts liked by the account. Despite everything, now only the user can view this listJust go to your profile and access the tab.

Besides, It is no longer possible to see who liked a post on a particular account, only the number of likes. Only the person who wrote the post can see the profiles they like. The view count of the broadcast is public.

People complain about the old Twitter

The change in policies regarding likes in publications has also become a topic of discussion on other social networks. For example on Instagram The display of the number of likes a post received on the social network has been removed. Nowadays, It is possible to see only accounts that give likes. To do this, you need to select the post and press the profiles featured in the likes.

YouTube has hidden the number of dislikes on its videos. Right now, It is still possible to “unlike” a particular posthowever, only channel owners can view this accounting.

The end of showing likes on X, as on other platforms, upset many people. The public has begun to notice the change in recent days, and the decision has sparked numerous complaints. See the impact of the case:
