THE HATE/LIKES RELATIONSHIP

This is a weird modern relationship. We all live for this heart button.

But it's finish now. Instagram delete the likes, and you might like it. The decision to hide like counts for some users, announced last week by Instagram’s chief executive officer, Adam Mosseri, is being hailed by some as a step in the right direction, while others, such as influencers and brands, are getting nervous that the loss of likes will lessen their prominence. With the changes, users will still be able to like and comment on photos or videos, but only the content creator will be able to see the number of people who have liked the post.

Social media, and Instagram in particular, has been linked to increased levels of anxiety, depression, loneliness, bullying, and fear of missing out. In an effort to create a safer space for users, Instagram has made both subtle and significant changes to its platform over the past year.

Tomorrow till infinity will be better now, we all hope so.
