Summary
- Twitter's latest update hides likes, even on your own posts.
- Instead, users are spamming the Miiverse Yeah picture to express their approval with a post.
For those of you mercifully unaware, Twitter just got another rubbish update. Now, you can't view anyone's likes. Hell, you can't even view your own outside of the notifications tab. It's dumb, very few people were asking for it, and it's perfectly in keeping with what we've come to expect ever since 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Elon Musk bought the site.
So, users have agreed on a new way to share their love for a tweet - the Miiverse Yeah. Now, users are spamming screenshots of the Ye𓃲ah icon from Miiverse, just so 𒁃they can make it clear that they endorse that particular post.
The Miiverse Yeah Becomes The New Like Button
Users started spotting this pretty quickly after the daft update went l🌱ive, making it harder to see who has liked your post⛄s. Now, a bunch of users have tried different methods of expressing their approval, and one of them is the Yeah image.
It's being used in the replies to all sorts of tweets, very much confusing some users. It appears that not everyone spent their formative years in the Wild West that was Miiverse - a true tragedy.

A low bar, but still a win
In case you need a refresher, Miiverse was Nintendo's attempt at a social media network, primarily accessed through the Wii U and 3DS. It lasted from 2012 to 2017 and is now fondly remembered for the absolutely wild, hilarious, and sometimes shameless posts that made it up its feed. Here's a tweet with some of the highlights.
We truly didn't know how good we had it. Perhaps if Nintendo brought it back for the Switch, we'd finally have a Twitter competitor that gives everyone a run for their money.
For now, this is just the latest bizarre chapter in Elon Musk's ownership of Twitter. Or X, as I probably should be saying, but won't because I'm yet to hear someone call it that in real life. It does look like some people are able to view the likes on their own posts again though, so it remains to be seen if this decision sticks.
