"Likesless"

I thought that canceling likes on Instagram is not a quick matter. There were some testings in different countries, and I did not expect that likes would be canceled this week. Let's be honest, Instagram without likes is like YouTube without views, Twitter is without retweets. The main idea of ​​Instagram the whole time was likes, without them it is just VSCO. Owners claim that they are fighting against cyberbullying and the pursuit of likes. But the problem is in our minds, in the nature of a human being, We always need to compare, compete, and improve. Dealing with stress in Social Media by canceling likes is the same as to deal with car accidents by canceling cars.

Maybe it's true, maybe now digital society is putting so much pressure on people that they are constantly in stress. Seriously, I don’t really believe that the real reason is the moral struggle for a happy world. Some studies show that canceling likes will be very beneficial for Instagram. There is a version that Instagram will receive huge amounts of money from advertisers for opening information about the number of likes of popular bloggers. Now it is so difficult to determine who has real followers and who has fake ones.

In any case, we will see how "likesless" Instagram will work in the near future, happy and stress-free, and will possibly change our minds.
