It's such an odd thing to do. I mean, what's wrong with the ability to like devlogs? It's not like anyone's gonna bother to fake likes on them.
Oh, so the blogs not linked to any page on a developer's page has likes visible, but not any devlogs linked onto a page?
Example: https://rastek.itch.io/animal-village-2/devlog/1129148/outside-areas
I was referring to the fact that there are criminals posting scam pages as blogs. If they think it will help, they will fake the likes. I am rather sure they faked followers occasionally. At least I hope the accounts with the fake blogs and 40+ followers I have seen had fake followers instead of gullible users follwing a scammer.
The like button is still available in the feed itself, just not on the page. It's called like event and looks like a heart.
That the button is missing on some type of posts seems like a bug, and leafo seems to have identified the bug already.
Oh, hello again. Until I saw this post, I didn't even notice it - turns out I have the same problem 
But I see that admins noticed which code breaking like button. So, my observations are no longer needed
