It’s the content that matters, not the likes.
Twitter has been working on ways to update its platform when it comes to dropping the popularity mentality when it comes to how many likes and followers each user may have. It now seems like Instagram is planning to make the same moves since a leaked prototype design for the social media app shows a post with no like count.
A tweet made by Jane Manchun Wong, someone who likes to uncover “unreleased features, security vulnerabilities & codes for fun” shared an image she found that shows the possible future of Instagram. While sifting through the code, Jane also came across a statement by the company that read: “We want your followers to focus on what you share, not how many likes your posts get. During this test, only the person who shares a post will see the total number of likes it gets.” Is this a good idea? It could be.
