Instagram Will Test Hiding 'Likes' in the US Starting Next Week
11.08.2019 07:17 PM

It’s finally happening: Instagram will officially test hiding “likes” on posts in the United States beginning next week.

As Wired explains, this will only happen on a limited number of accounts. They also say, “Hiding like counts is just the latest step in Instagram’s quest to become the safest place on the internet, along with algorithms and filters to remove offensive or divisive comments or pictures.”

Instagram has already been testing this for months in Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Japan, Ireland, Italy, and Brazil.

As expected, this will affect those who use likes and engagement metrics for validation, and business and brand purposes. Business Insider explains that this will primarily affect influencers. “The idea of a like-less Instagram makes many of them nervous. Affected influencers have already noticed their posts are getting fewer likes and less engagement, pushing their posts farther down in Instagram’s algorithmic feed. Some have expressed concerns it’ll affect their reach and ability to grow on the platform.” They also predict that influencers will shift to using different metrics to measure their reach.

Other social media platforms experimenting with removing likes is YouTube, Twitter, and Facebook (which owns Instagram).

CEO Adam Mosseri goes into more detail about this decision. See what he says below.

This doesn't make sense. It's not like Instagram has a dislike button. if they're going to get rid of likes, they might as well as get rid of the comments to if they want to make it the safest place online. Otherwise, everybody is just Instagram stalkers

Fuck all those safe spaces. These cacs sensitive as fucking shit. Between the sensitivity and the ignorance, it's getting crazy. Dumb ass creatures can't even google the shit they see on Facebook so there's a big fuss over political ads. People are pathetic.

HNIC don't know what he in for if these safe spacers start visiting BGOL.

The problem is this country is turning into a communist/socialist mindset where everybody gets a trophy. nobody wants to compete anymore.

You had loser ass kids complaining that another popular kids where getting more likes then them and that they suffer depression. That’s why Instagram wants to change the rules.

But I don’t know how it’s going to work people die by likes and praises!

that's why the new ads i'm doing will cover everything as i've made a new site that people can access all sites from there with one ad. what's funny is i just made a quick video blog about the ad game the other day...because fools bragging on paying 1000's of dollars a month when it's not necessary

Man y’all niggas need to read.. Lawd lol

They are making likes private where only the creator of the post can see the likes and no one else. Before anyone could see if you liked a post. Now you can like hoes and other shit with out being seen

if you create the post you can see who liked your post.But no one else can see if you liked a post. So essentially Instagram has stopped snitching on niggas for liking hoes lol

Naw fam lol

They are only making the things you like on Instagram private. If you created the post you will be able to see who liked your post and how many likes you have.

but when you like other post no one will be able to see what you liked as that will now be private to you only.

They are just making the things that you like on Instagram private. So if you like some hoes pages, Instagram will now make that private and no one could see it.

if you created the post then you can see all the likes and who liked it
