Twitter To Remove the "Like" Button
- Thread starter BWoog
- Start date
As long as there is a way to save tweets I like so I can go back and look at them whenever I want I don't really care.
If there's no replacement though we all have to stop using Twitter until they bring it back.

So people don't press 'like', what does this change when it improving the quality of debate? People will reply instead of just hit like?
If I don't get 'liked by...' tweets in my timeline, that would be great though.

I don't understand how that is supposed to improve anything? Just moderate your platform and take reports seriously you fucks
Twitter Board Person #1: "We need to do something radical to improve the quality of debate on Twitter. Suggestions?"
Twitter Board Person #2: "Well, we could ban the naz..."
*Jack interrupts Board Person #2*
Jack: "LET'S REMOVE THE LIKE BUTTON!"
Seems like a weird move to me... but all of the social media sites just seem to tinker with/change things just for the sake of changing things (or so they can sell the change to shareholders as an "improvement" or "new strategy").
But I use likes as a way to favorite things for later. They better sure as hell just make them favorites again. I'd rather not bookmark them but if that's what it came to as long as it's still a one step process.
Also ban the fucking Nazis already. Stop spending time on stupid decisions and work on the one that matters the most. Goddamn.

Kill likes, now all the matters is the number of replies.
I don't think this will actually help!

LOL how would anyone come to the conclusion this would do anything to "improve" the quality of debate on Twitter? Ban more Nazis/Nazi Sympathizers and bots you dumbass.
This. The function of that button is pretty important. I don't really care if it looks like a star or whatever but the service becomes pretty useless without that function.

Urgh... the only thing removing like buttons does is initiate a flood of posts which essentially amounts to "I agree". I guess Twitter wants to inflate their tweets per unit time number.
This exists. If you click the the little share icon, there's a bookmark option.
Assuming you're serious, why? Unless liking a post saves it so you easily find it later, what's the point?
This is going to basically kill a lot of discussion on the site and thus traffic. What a stupid fucking move.
'bookmark tweets to read later'
they're 1-3 lines long. you can't 'read it later'. you look at it and you've read it, that's it.

I'd love if they turned it back into bookmarks. I hate that it shows likes on my timeline. No one gives a fuck about the random song I liked that I want to check out later, so i've instead had to start opening tweets in my phone's browser to go back to later.
I honestly don't understand this at all. It will just increase retweets. The like button is a nice middle-ground to give someone a positive reaction without putting it on your own feed.
But that is an extra click and doesn't reward the person who made the gewd tweet with my love.Use bookmarks? :p
