> I don’t think I would create ‘likes’ in the first place.

_You didn't_. It was called "Favorites", and you later renamed it to "likes".

Jack can introspect as much as he wants, but it doesn't change the fact that they keep making the platform _worse_, not better.

Another indication is that the official web/client is a cesspool of unrelated content I don't want to see, and somehow they now think they need to double down on that effort - oh, sorry, "make it a interest-based network" - instead of take a look at whether that's users want.

Twitter is a prime example of A/B testing gone wrong.
