I wonder if that heart emoji counter is an int32 or an int64. I guess we'll find out soon...

Signed is the wrong thing here, so u16 or u32 maybe, however I expect you'd blow something up long before because this won't be architected as a simple counter.
Int32 is still 2 billions though. No way it can reach the limit
I've never seen the hearts raise so quickly in realtime...
