Accidentally Liking a Post from Years Ago
You deep-scrolled someone profile and liked a post from 2019. The accidental like on an old post is the internet fail where the damage is in the notification, which lands on the other person phone with your name attached, announcing that you were deep in their archive. Four thousand five hundred points lost because the like is a confession disguised as a tap, and the confession is that you were scrolling their profile, which is a form of attention that most people prefer to keep private. The aura loss is in the visibility of your interest, which was supposed to be deniable and is now documented. The deeper fail signal is that your scrolling discipline is weak, because the fix is simple do not like while deep scrolling and the fix is ignored because the thumb is faster than the judgment. The recovery is to immediately unlike and to not send a follow up message, because the follow up confirms the scroll, while the unlike leaves the notification ambiguous, and ambiguous notifications cost less than… Accidentally Liking a Post from Years Ago is a internet event in the moderate tier, worth -4,500 aura points.
