I suspect soon they'll remove voting altogether, replaced by a measure of how long it held attention.

Their ranking algorithm very clearly leans on a relative engagement metric pretty heavily, and has for a while.

The voting will stay but your homepage will be a for you page that selects posts based on your usage data and whatever is trending instead of the votes, in an attempt to bring engagement to a maximum. Just like what's been happening to Instagram for years.

Tiktok was like that from the start. Instagram has been making changes to be more like tiktok

Yes now that engagement is directly monetized, you’re likely correct
