Does anyone care? Pros and cons? I guess it makes it easier for people to 'like' more controversial stuff and not get dragged across the coals for it... Lots of people (like Musk) get called out for 'liking' stuff others disagree with.

I think it’s good, I’m not all like “cancel culture argghh!!” But there is some like base level of privacy we should all assume on the internet, and some of these voyeuristic features are just weird. If Musk wants to like some sexy hentai I don’t think anyone needs to know about that, and like other examples— Why does Venmo have a newsfeed?
