Social media

A simple user request on the social media platform X has triggered a major change. Nikita Bier, the company's Head of Product, launched a feature with the phrase "Give me 60 seconds"—a move that left users astonished. Within just a few minutes, a "Dislike" button appeared live on the platform as part of a testing phase. However, this feature is not currently available to all users and remains under limited testing.

Feature Goes Live in 60 Seconds; Users Left Amazed
The sheer speed with which this feature materialized on X took everyone by surprise. A user requested a Dislike button, to which Nikita Bier, X's Head of Product, responded immediately. Within minutes, numerous users began sharing screenshots of this new button appearing on their accounts. While it remains unclear whether the feature was pre-prepared or was genuinely activated with such rapid speed, its launch has certainly sparked a lively discussion across social media.

Dislike Button Visible Only on Replies
This new Dislike button currently appears not on the main posts themselves, but exclusively within the replies section. This means users will be able to rate the responses to a post, rather than the post itself. In some instances, instead of merely registering a "dislike," the button opens a "reply feedback" menu, offering options such as reporting misinformation, AI-generated content, or spam. This clearly indicates that the company intends to utilize this tool not merely as a reaction mechanism, but as a means to enhance content quality.

Operates in the Background; No Public Count Displayed
A key highlight of this X feature is that the total count of "Dislikes" will not be publicly visible. Instead, this data will operate in the background to refine the platform's algorithms. In practical terms, this means that poor-quality or spam-filled replies will be pushed down, while high-quality responses will rise to the top. Currently, this feature is being tested among a limited number of users, and the company has not provided a timeline for its full rollout. In the future, it could significantly transform the platform's experience.
