Twitter has been making loads adjustments lately. Some good, like once they lastly gave us again a reverse chronological timeline. Others not so good, similar to their potential plan to take away the ‘Likes’ characteristic from the positioning fully.
Their motive for this? It’s apparently to “enhance debate on the platform” in keeping with Twitter CEO and co-founder Jack Dorsey. To again this up, the Twitter Communications account (@TwitterComms) tweeted “… we're rethinking every little thing in regards to the service to make sure we're incentivizing wholesome dialog …”
But is everybody’s favourite heart-shaped button actually the issue? There is loads dangerous that goes on in Twitter’s little nook the web. Harassment, hate speech, spreading lies. None that's “Healthy dialog” and none that's in any respect associated to the like button. Instead taking out the characteristic, it is perhaps extra productive for Twitter to deal with the customers spreading hate.
Apparently, there are some psychologists who've reported a sure social media dependancy that has popped up. People crave endorsement from their friends and can delete their posts in the event that they don’t get sufficient likes or feedback. But that's nothing new. And if that’s the explanation for his or her resolution, then they’ll must take away feedback and retweets as effectively. And by that time, simply delete the entire web site.
Twitter hasn’t made any concrete plans but. Everything continues to be “within the works”. Hopefully, whereas they’re engaged on it, they provide you with a greater concept. We’ll have to attend and see.
