Likes and reposts on X could be getting a facelift in the next few weeks, could it change the Crypto X experience?

Some believe the change could help cut down engagement-farming posts on the platform — something Crypto X may be all too familiar with.

“I’m not working on this change myself, but employees are still dogfooding it. It should be gradually rolled out to users in the next few weeks and the UX may change by then,” said X software engineer Ellis Driscoll in an April 29 Stanley added that the new user interface would see users engage with posts by way of a “long press and then swipe to choice,” something he said was “kinda like a video game interface.”Instagram hid public like counts — dubbed ‘hearts’ — on its app in 2021 as part of an attempt to appease mental health concerns around the app by downranking like-based competition between typically younger users of the social media platform.
