People Are Not Taking The Demise Of The Twitter Fave Well

    Stars are now hearts and everyone's is broken.

    Today, Twitter announced that it's replacing "favorites” and “stars” with "likes" and "hearts." Naturally, people are taking the news very quietly and calmly.

    JK, they're freaking out.

    1.

    Our grandparents didn't storm the beaches of Normandy to see the twitter star become a heart.

    2.

    Strange, twitter has replaced stars with an upside down butt

    3.

    need @neiltyson to inform twitter that is not an accurate depiction of the human heart

    4.

    Twitter users who couldn't figure out what the star meant

    5.

    Oh I get it now it means u enjoyed that tweet

    6.

    NOOOO ALL MY STARS TURNED INTO HEARTS LOVE IS WORTHLESS, I WAS BUILDING A NEW GOD FROM THE STELLAR MASS

    Also, @Twitter is going to change the little bird logo into a terrifying angler fish. Just so you know.

    9.

    I’m still writing favs on my checks.

    10.

    11.

    If Twitter really wants to mess with people they’ll change Retweets to Endorsements

    12.

    Twitter's acting like they invented the heart.

    13.

    Did @twitter consider 🍆s? @radioderekmoore @MaryHartmanx2 @mat

    14.

    ❤️ = I’m done with this convo ❤️ = Please hire me ❤️ = I want to have sex with you

    Listen, Twitter, let me give you a tip: If people want Facebook, they're probably gonna use Facebook. https://t.co/LSA1zPx2Mn

    Literally every star I ever gave was me tryna get it in so this should be no different.

    Sounds like twitter finally saw the (•_•) ( •_•)>⌐■-■ (⌐■_■) fault in our stars

    21.

    I just want to point out that you can still + things on Google Plus

    22.

    I GREY HEART THINGS RARELY DO I RED HEART THINGS I THINK I ONLY RED HEART MY DOG AND MOM AND BOYFRIEND

    23.

    HOW ARE WE SUPPOSED TO POLITELY END CONVERSATIONS WITHOUT A FAVOURITE BUTTON?

    24.

    Pretty sure Twitter should’ve replaced the ⭐️ with a 💩 instead of a ❤️

    25.

    If nothing else, these hearts are a pretty good Rorschach test for who cares about Twitter too much.

    26.

    I work at @twitter but even I can’t believe how we replaced a completely value-neutral term like “favorite” with something so loaded.
