    I don’t think they can alter the number of likes received willy-nilly without attributing 1 like to 1 account, and I’m basing this thought on how a normal system would behave, as I suspect xitter still uses the equivalent of a select count(has_liked) from user_post_reaction where id_post = {whatever}; – Changing how a normal count of likes work, without attributing them to accounts, would easily fuck up xitter real hard.

    Sure, melon himself wants to believe his own delusions, but there’s a lot of people that aren’t him and that don’t have access to the code, or the coders, and definitely want to find ways to abuse this.
