Besides aesthetics and whatnot, likes were the best feature added to ktt2 from ktt1. In ktt1 a post's popularity/quality was kinda linked to people blank quoting it, and ktt2 did a great job of switching that measurement to the like feature. imo makes absolutely no sense to remove it
at the moment the likes incentivize people to post stupid off topic s*** to get likes
Idk dog, to me those random off topic posts are kind of a big allure to what makes ktt great. It's not just a forum for having intelligent discussion, but also for just f***ing around and having fun. I remember back before I came to ktt and had used other internet forums, there were so many rules that kept things more structured, but it also made everything so much more boring. I loved how on ktt I could basically post whatever tf I want (within reason, obviously) whenever tf I wanted to.
i feel like all my post are liked no matter what 😌
I dont mind the change but maybe we could have the individual setting to show likes or not?

yea I get what you’re saying and like I don’t want KTT culture to change but removing likes doesn’t just mean every discussion is now going to be very serious and etc
It just means that there’s less of a validation incentive system in place systemically to encourage that and to encourage users to imitate what they see get likes and etc
Again it’s a trial but I’m personally hoping that this might keep the best parts of that culture while minimizing the worst parts

check the last post in the "cant see likes for some reason" thread
I really think likes should come back, sometimes when I’m scrolling fast I use the amount of likes to ignore the BS. Why not make it an option to turn on or off?
The posts that get a bunch of likes on the first page are usually hilarious lol it’s what separated KTT2 from KTT1
So all the brainstorming and y’all came up with “remove likes” as the solution?

wait who removed likes?
i dont mind if the likes are removed.
But either go all the way or don't do it at all. Cause this halfway s*** of getting notifications on posts just to not see nothing is just annoying lol.
remember when apple removed the headphone jack...
remember when rihanna had her titty out? (wow)
