All loved presents are now disliked by characters

Hi there! Single-player Nintendo switch Stardew Valley player here:)
I’ve noted that as of today, all characters gifted ANY item, including those on their disliked list, no longer willingly accept and love the item as they have been since I started playing the game a couple months ago. For example, I could previously give any character a random item, and they just automatically love whatever the random item was. (This was AFTER fulfilling ALL of the characters hearts, before that I was paying attention to their preferences I promise lol.) Now, it seems like the characters are “back” to their personal preferences and started rejecting my random items.

Of note, I do have all characters at 10 hearts, have 14 hearts fulfilled with spouse, and no hearts have been lost/deducted. I first noticed when I gave my “spouse” a present they actually rejected it (or rather I received the whole “oh I guess that’s nice” dialogue, which is astronomically different from my routine “this is my favorite thing, thanks!” dialogue)

Was the former, meaning all items automatically loved, a former bug that was resolved via the update? (1.6.15.2 as reference) I’ve tried researching to the best of my ability, and still have been coming up short on an answer or explanation, so I appreciate any and all advice/education :)

The loved gifts bug was introduced on a patch that came out on January 17th, it wasn't an intended feature.

Yes, villager gift preferences are now working as intended, as per the most recent patch.

Them loving anything and everything you gave them was most definitely a bug (a fun bug, but a bug, nonetheless). 😋
AW MAN 😭😭well that answers my question though! Thank you so much:)
