keep seeing posts with way more boosts than likes. do y'all not like over here? how do you think people know you like their posts

i don't like posts expecting it to ~increase visibility~?? do people do that on twitter?? i like posts because i like them and there is a button for that

@eevee Yes. Also personally I've always used fav/like as personal bookmarks, whereas some people almost seemed to use it as a Read button. Which explains weird perspectives on The Algorithm.
