X Tests Dislike Button After Product Head's "Give Me 60 Seconds" Response
•X has rolled out a limited live test of a dislike button feature, seemingly in response to a user suggestion.
•X's Head of Product, Nikita Bier, responded to the suggestion with "Give me 60 seconds," and the feature appeared on some accounts minutes later.
•The dislike option is currently visible to a small group of users and is restricted to replies, not main posts.
•Selecting dislike may open a feedback prompt for categories like "Incorrect or misleading" or "Spam."
•The feature does not show public dislike counts; it functions as a private signal to influence content ranking and reduce visibility of low-quality responses.
