2 meanings of unlikes

1
verb
Third-person singular simple present of unlike.
She unlikes any comment that starts an argument she would rather avoid.
The app automatically unlikes content you reported as misleading.
Note
The -s form belongs only to the verb, which has two lives: an older one meaning "to dislike" and a newer one meaning to take back a "like" on a post. The adjective and preposition unlike never take this ending, so in "she unlikes it" the word must be a verb with a direct object. The same spelling also serves the plural noun, where each withdrawn like becomes a countable thing.
2
noun
Plural of unlike.
The controversial announcement collected hundreds of unlikes overnight.
A sudden wave of unlikes pushed the clip off the trending page.
Note
Two quite different nouns share this plural. One is abstract: unlikes are things that differ from something else. The other is Internet vocabulary for a retracted like, and it is the one that gets tallied, as in hundreds of unlikes or a wave of unlikes. Both form the plural regularly. Context usually settles which is meant, and a count or a platform in view points to the online sense.
