Windows 10: My MSN Profile page shows 108 reactions on news page, shows 10 reactions on profile page -...

My profile page reactions show 10 people reacted, the actual news page shows 108 people responded to my comment, why don't they match?

MSN News comment reactions count

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?

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.

 

Stop MSN as Home Page

I found out how to do this. I have tried different versions on changing settings and home pages and discovered when you try to set a new home page, what Windows 10 does is to add the new address as a tab at the top of the page but still opens with MSN. What the sites have not said is that the MSN address is still there and is top in the list. It is an address that has the word about in it. It would not let me move that address to the bottom of the list and the only way I got my Google homepage that I wanted was to click on the X to the right of the about address and delete it. Now when I open up, my desired home page comes up and I don't have to look at MSN's bias headlines.
