Who at the Discourse development team thought it a good idea to separate the like button and likes count?

I haven’t been too active lately and now I find myself either trying to like a post by clicking the heart on the left or looking at the right and wondering why nobody has shown appreciation for a good post. This is confusing.

I agree with you. But you get used to it.

I agree.
BTW, I would’ve clicked “like” on your post sooner, but I kept clicking the wrong place.
