It&#x27;s smart imho, as it leads people to what the default choice should be by artificially making the other choices harder. And you might disagree but studies have shown that choices make people unhappy.<p>On the other hand these were needed let&#x27;s say because some items are not appropriate to Like. Like say a piece of news for some tragedy.<p>But I do think this will backfire as I think it will lower engagement. Right now when people cannot Like, they Share. And for other reactions they place comments. Many in the form of emoticons but still.
