Now we can promote insane things without a ready gauge for who agrees and those that do not.
Big Brother State wins again.
Socialism does not allow for opinions or thought.

Playboy: Yeah, we’re just not going to have naked pictures anymore.
Sales plummet.
Instagram: Yeah, we’re just not going to have likes anymore.
Advertisers freak out.
Why do these companies turn their back on their own formula?

I’m happy this is happening. You know something is wrong when people decide not to like something because it doesn’t have enough likes yet. This might not be the perfect fix, but it shows they are trying to find solutions

People will just start taking screenshots of how many likes they get, then take pictures of how many likes the “like count” pic got.

I don’t see people posting their statistics on their feed after every picture they post, that’s farfetched. They might do that for advertisers to see but posting stats on your Insta would make you look desperate and weird.

BS. Their hiding likes so they can make you pay for it. Rather than people have organic reach.

Finally people will post things they like without wondering how many likes it will get.
