What would Twitter look like with an absolute number of Likes in the system? (discuss.tchncs.de)

What would Twitter look like, if Elon flushed all likes, throws x Likes in the sytem and gave it a go? Every Like has to taken from the system and there are positive and negative points just like here or Reddit. If you don't have Likes anymore you have to dislike something else you liked in the past. It would be entertaining to watch social scoring and fighting for likes in this already fucked up social network.

I would predict even more botting would be used to influence likes/dislikes as limiting them would make them even more influential.

I'd also bet on their being even more useless comments saying expressing people's like or dislike of something, which might be good for engagement numbers but bad for overall conversation.
