Maybe someone posted this already but I didn't search for it.
I'm going to do sneedman style by adding foids intermittently. Today I'll go with Denise Milani.
Tard Squad ELI5 reporting for duty:
By making them private, a user might get a good deal of likes for a publically heinous opinion because the awful people who like it are free from being exposed as supporting that heinous opinion by having their likes be public.
Now imagine politicians, companies, religious leaders, etc... liking any sort of account and you having no idea. Epstien libertarian accounts? No problem! Racism, bigotry, support for Putin? All aboard!
Elon can just promote topics he agrees with and demote and outright censor anything he doesn't agree with. Because he's a petty daddy's money wannabe tyrant with a shitty diaper and a mother who doesn't love him even with all his money.
NoStupidQuestions asking Badthinks:
Why are users of Reddit, which has private likes, upset that Twitter/X now has private likes?
People who matter don't use reddit. Being able to see if a public figure is into fascist shit is pretty handy.
/r/Technology geniuses:
$8Chan in its final form. A pseudo NatC bar hiding behind a fig leaf. One man's attempt to control the narrative for his own ends whilst giving plausible deniability to those who wish to sow dissent and stir shiat on a colossal scale
It means they can sell your likes now that they aren't giving them away
for free.

Yea I'd never take this at face value thinking you can now safely chud out on an account that can tied to you in any way.
