Jack Dorsey, Twitter's founder and CEO, was recently reported to have questioned how the site "incentivizes people to want (the number of likes on their posts) to go up." He also said that "he was not a fan of the heart-shaped ('like') button and that Twitter would be getting rid of it 'soon.'" Twitter has since released a statement indicating that there are no immediate plans to remove the "like" button.
