    The like button disappeared for me a week or so ago, no idea what’s going on there.

      A/B testing. Big tech like Google likes to roll out (often experimental) changes to a select number of random people and measure how their behavior changes compared to others that get the existing experience. In other words, you’re a lab rat.

      I’ve had this happen to me countless times, perhaps because I used to write lengthy and in-depth feedback (until I thought they should pay me for this and stopped).
