 Too noisy the content is losing its value, there is the dupermine effect of likes, added with this, it compounds, so in a twitter client where normies are supposed to spend a lot of time browsing through it, the net experience will be harmful

 I used to think the same, but: 
1. In chat apps this is not a problem and that's where I spent most of my time
2. It is not my goal to make the user spend a lot of time in here 
3. The goal is filtering for high signal, both with the filter the user selects (DVM & other) and with the UI displaying more then just counts that all look the same.

 Yes but not everybody is on social media to look for signal, besides this is overjustification, chatapps are in the moment and do not create a scenerio where users have to compete because they don't keep track of all the reaction data, look at the recent ethical dissonance with wavelake
