Instagram is finally hiding likes

About time that Instagram can now hide likes from public accounts. You see - it has always been used as a metric for popularity (the more likes one has, the more popular they are).

That measuring popularity based on likes alone is shallow and superficial. Many influencers bank on how many people like their posts to brag popularity. Heck, even certain schools have projects where the more likes a student gets, the higher the final score is. That's just complete nonsense.

    Some countries don't hide linkes. Ex: I'm living Vietnam and using Instagram every single day , I saw many posts and I saw liked.

    I'd argue that much of social media is, by nature, shallow and superficial. Seems to me several social media platforms are trying ot find a way to measure popularity that APPEARS to be less shallow and superficial. Will it work?

    I haven't heard about the school thing, it does sound like a nonsense, however, hiding likes screws up a bunch of people, not only influencers. While I do see why they did it I also see negative points.
