As many other people have mentioned already, it seems the XP system is no longer taking likes into account to increment the XP of the user.
Also, I didn't know XP is being spent now?

I found this on my XP transaction, but there's no notice or mention of even spending XP in any way in the XP page:

Only thing I can think of is that the forum thread got removed or something, losing those 5XP for creating a new post, but it's still up there.
Not really sure what happened there, but this is the full list of that specific thread:

Honestly that whole XP system made no sense to me, so I cannot even tell what is normal and what it not lol
I have another observation I wonder was either an oversight or intentional.
Is it not possible to change the privacy option related to blog posts anymore?
It seems like they are public regardless of the privacy settings, the option that would allow limiting who can view the posts is nowhere to be found.
It is a little annoying to me, since I would rather have them kept to forum members only, but if they remain public by design, I guess that's how it's gonna be, and I would have to be careful with the sensitive information written there.
Okay I have another observation that has been confusing me a little bit since the upgrade.
This time it's the way likes/reactions are handled.
Look at the screenshots, between like, haha, and not reacted:
Wouldn't it make more sense to replace "Like" with "React"?
Possibly also change the text to something like "You reacted with {reaction}", or maybe even simplier, "Unreact"?
Many times I accidentally clicked on a like again because I thought I did not actually do it a moment earlier
That would also avoid the confusion in the first place, in my opinion, since we already have a 'you' just above, anyway.
