So, it'll be harder to tell when someone is buying likes from bots? Because that sounds like what muskrat intends to do in order to boost his shit ego
Why even bother with bots? Since the like list will no longer be public they can just literally code it to artificially inflate the system to boost propaganda in the way that they want to make. Or you were able to see who was liking it so you could verify those an actual person behind it, now you can't.
With this new system there's nothing stopping a comment from being sent to the Moon likewise with only one person actually liking it ex. Musks social posts can have 80,000 likes where as only 10,000 actually liked it.
Who needs to spend money on engagement on the platform when you can fake the engagement and get the same results because members will be like oh there's a lot of people interacting with this and will interact with it as well when in reality there isn't actually much interaction with it
I don't think they can alter the number of likes received willy-nilly without attributing 1 like to 1 account, and I'm basing this thought on how a normal system would behave, as I suspect xitter still uses the equivalent of a
select count(has_liked) from user_post_reaction where id_post = {whatever};-- Changing how a normal count of likes work, without attributing them to accounts, would easily fuck up xitter real hard.Sure, melon himself wants to believe his own delusions, but there's a lot of people that aren't him and that don't have access to the code, or the coders, and definitely want to find ways to abuse this.
