Elon Musk’s X Starts Hiding Users' Likes after the latest update.

The update on Elon Musk's X is part of a broader strategy to shift focus from metrics to more meaningful interactions.

The decision to hide likes is primarily driven by concerns over user privacy and mental well-being.

By hiding likes, X aims to reduce the pressure on users to seek validation through quantifiable metrics.

A few hours after the rollout, Musk claimed that X saw a "massive increase in likes after they were made private."
