Instagram Testing Ditching ‘Likes’ in Canada

Canada has already started testing ditching ‘likes’ on Instagram. Followers can still ‘like’ and comment on photos but the “outside world” won’t be able to see the exact count of people who’ve liked it. Much like Instagram Story. In Canada, they have found that people are posting more and spending more time on the site without stressing about how the post is performing. An Instagram with no ‘likes’ could be good for mental health but bad for influencers who make their living off of ‘likes’.
