Please note that this is not me advocating for this practice. It has broken the web in immensely frustrating ways.

I agree. It's ridiculous. I was simply explaining why this behaviour happened.

When you're not logged in, the profile view shows you the most liked posts from that account, not the most recent. Not sure why.
