likes

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'making responses on social media' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.

'stories about king' is the wordplay.
'stories' becomes 'lies' (I've seen this before).
'about' is an insertion indicator.
'king' becomes 'k' (abbreviation for king in chess).
'lies' placed around 'k' is 'LIKES'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for likes that I've seen before include "prizes" , "Is fond of" , "Has affection for, enjoys" , "Appreciates" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
