Honestly, this might be for the better because there are a lot of crazy people out there who will harass/stalk you and try to get you fired for liking "controversial" tweets.

I think better solution would be keeping it visible by default but letting people hide it if they want. But this is still better then them being public and unhideable, given how many sociopaths and psychopathic stalkers are online.
...actually, if they were hidden only by choice, then those who would hide them would be judged and harassed (in some countries even by ruling regimes) so maybe that would not be ideal either

You could already hide your likes tab if you subscribed to premium before.
Loads of popular accounts like things as a way to share content with the other loads of people who check out what accounts are liking… so good luck with those engagement numbers after this.

This was so funny. Just be a normal man and say, yes I think Corey chase is hot.
But can't admit to flogging the porpoise or everyone will think you're a sinner

No question likes should be private, retweets are perfect for signaling to your followers. Since Elon took over he has been in complete command of X.

You mean you'll be able to pay to see people's likes, surely?

Can't they just retweet that instead?

A good change way overdue.
Twitter was never intended for the kind of scrutiny and stalking of likes and follows that the lunatic folk abused it for.
It can't go back to the innocent years, but anything that can hinder or stop the unhinged mobs is welcome.

No idea if it is true or not, but I sincerely hope it is.

It was a control mechanism under prior ownership, you see.

Re-tweets clutter your feed so people only do that when they want to really highlight something. Likes didn't do that.

A great way for Elon to make people feel more comfortable about sharing more data and that data be more precise and less guarded, imo.
How happy you are about that data being stored forever by twitter is probably one to ask yourself.
Personally, I got rid of twitter a long time ago.

I've met her per "accident" some years ago.

Likes numbers on tweets are still visible, it's the personal Likes button press history of users that's now hidden (and thinking about, it's absolutely insane that it was visible to everyone to begin with).

In that case I have meetings with Cory Chase on a biweekly basis.
