It actually WORKS!! 🤔 I suspected the "Curious" reaction was still lingering somewhere in the lines of code of LinkedIn, because old posts reacted with "Curious" still retain the reaction – pretty much like Facebook's "Pride" and "Thankful" –, however no button is nowhere to be found. I don't think Facebook's old reactions can be restored, but I'm glad LinkedIn's "Curious" can still be used. To the dev, Mordechai Mesels, congrats on the excellent work! I hope your extension keeps on working! NOTES: If your UI language is anything other than English, it will appear in English first, but after reacted it will appear under the post in your chosen language. Also, the icon styling is old compared to the other reactions, with a circular border, while the other up-to-date reactions appear as cutouts with no borders or a circular shape. Also, there's a minor bug where the reactions count in comments does not immediately update upon reacting with "Curious". SUGGESTIONS: Please redraw and update the icon of the "Curious" reaction so it better matches the redesigned current reactions. Also, please make it available for Firefox. Thanks!! . ORIGINAL DESCRIPTION: https://web.archive.org/web/20220211155842/www.linkedin.com/help/linkedin/answer/a528190/use-linkedin-reactions?lang=en > Curious - Expresses that you’re intrigued by a thought-provoking perspective or question, and you want to learn more. For example: >> Asking what people think about a professional trend. >> Debating whether graduate school makes sense at this stage in your career. REASONING: LinkedIn removed the "Curious" reaction on 19 January 2023. Some of the alleged reasons for its removal were because it was not used very much and made it harder for the post author to interpret the other person's reaction to it; because LinkedIn tries to upkeep an all-positive environment, this is one of the few reactions people could use to express surprise / doubt / disagreement and sometimes even sarcasm or bullying (e.g., "I find it *curious* that YOU got this promotion while I'm pretty sure you're not thaaat qualified for the position… Should I really congratulate you?") -- or simply to say "I want to learn more before endorsing what you said". With the reaction removed, only positive upbeat reactions remain.
