Windows 10: MSN news comments reactions are increasing but not on any comments I see on my account...

MSN news comments reactions are increasing but not on any comments I see on my account where are they coming from?

MSN News comment reactions count

Except that the reactions are increasing even without a new activity item coming to the top to show that someone has reacted to a comment. I suspect the reaction count goes up for more than just the original post, like when replies to your comment get reactions.

For example: MO's original post gets 6 reactions/likes and another commenter responds to MO's original comment, and their response gets 3 likes, then MO's reaction count goes up by 9 on the comment string.

2nd example: When MO responds to someone else's original post, and another commenter responds to me and tags MO. If 2 people like MO's response and 3 people like the other commenter's response to the response, then MO's reaction count goes up by 5.

What is included in the count of Reactions on the user profile? The number keeps tracking upwards while the activity page does not reflect where those reactions came from. What counts as a reaction, then? If a commenter responds to an original post, are they also garnering reaction counts from the original post? If a commenter is tagged, are they getting reaction counts from someone else's post they are tagged on?

Hi M O2,

Welcome to Microsoft Community.

I’ve tested for you.

Reactions don't seem to be directly related to comments.

There are two scenarios for changes in Reactions.

• The first case.
  
  Click Like or Dislike.
  
  
  
  
  
• Another case.
  
  Click React and select one of them.
  
  
  
  
  

If there is anything not clear, please do not hesitate to let me know.
