Agree in terms if organic use, but its thr exception imo. FB ingrained the behavior for likes way before bird app. The pattern that doesn't seem to go away is engagement farming across all subsequent modeled services. Insta collapsed under this weight, and bird app has too. Reddit remained steadfast for up/down votes, but that gets abused also.
As soon as there is a metric, people start gaming it to pamp their profile/post/advert, and then gaming signals end up outweighing organic use. This is true also for follower/following metrics. Filtering the tribal affirmation likes economy from discussion is an unsolved problem.
