    Repost, like and reply are metrics that can be used to gauge how popular posts are, by removing that they can push whatever they want as “popular” with no real way of knowing. This is like Netflix Top 10 with no insight into the metrics.

      I mean I don’t think you need to see the metrics. They’re the top 10 because they show you the same fucking content over and over and over again at the top of your “feed” or whatever. Even content you’ve already watched.

      And I don’t even understand why. What do they have to gain from this?

      Yup. I canceled Netflix when they removed the star ratings because it was clear what they were doing. Most people didn’t care, though.

      Anyone still on shitter is not going to care. There is zero integrity on that platform at this point. Just people supporting hate speech and Musk by their very participation.

        I hard disagree with that actually, there are a lot of people on the platform that Karma dive and intentionally try to do post that will up their interaction. But if you remove those systems then they’re not going to care about the platform anymore. Not that those people are adding good content to the platform in the first place but they will leave the platform to find other areas due to this change
