It's endorsement as much RT is, as Twitter puts tweets liked by people you follow on your timeline. It serves as an amplification tool, not just personal interaction.
- adastra22 5y agoNot all people use the Twitter interface. I used Tweetbot for years and "like" has no effect in that app, as it has no algorithmic feed. Since there is no way to bookmark a tweet from that app, that's what I used the "like" button for. I'm not the only one either. Lots of people use Twitter this way, whether the Twitter devs intended for it to be used this way or not.
