tearily - happening with tears (crying)
amass - to gather or collect (something, such as a large amount of money) especially for yourself
rampant - used to describe something that is very common or that is spreading very quickly and in a way that is difficult to control
shrug off - to think of or treat (something) as not important : to pay no attention to (something)
impressions - something (such as a design or a footprint) made by pressing or stamping a surface; prints
the bulk - most of something : the largest part of something
subvert - to make (something) weaker or less effective
folly - the lack of good sense or judgment; foolishness
walk a fine line - to maintain an intermediate position between contrasting choices, opinions, etc
Do you think this is a positive change and that it should also be done on other social media sites?
Does seeing who else likes a post, or how many other people like it, influence how you interact with it?
