The number of likes on Facebook and Instagram will be removed
Technology on social media seems to be a double-edged sword at this point. Currently, social media can have a negative impact on its users, especially mental/psychological problems. The desire to look perfect on social media by getting as many likes as possible by its users can actually have a bad impact on mental health.
Most social media users do whatever it takes to look perfect on social media (“social climbing”). This problem makes Mark Zuckenberg who is the owner of social media Facebook and Instagram feel responsible for this. Therefore, he plans to remove the number of likes on the Instagram and Facebook platforms.
The Idea of Removing the Like Number Feature is Effective in Reducing Mental Anxiety
This idea is considered effective for reducing mental anxiety about the status of its users on social media. Most social media users are not confident if their posts get few likes. Finally, he deleted the post.
So, if the number of likes is hidden then the anxiety will not happen again. Every user will feel comfortable after posting something on their social media accounts. No need to worry about the number of likes, which is a good parameter of whether a post is good or not for now. The plan is, users can still see only close friends who like on the post.
Currently this feature is being piloted in several countries such as in Canada, Brazil, Australia, New Zealand, Italy, Ireland, and Japan. This feature is also still being carefully considered by Facebook whether it is needed or not.
Perhaps, the removal of the number of likes feature will have a big impact on the celebgrams. The reason is, their existence is determined by the number of likes for each post. So, what do you think if one day the number of likes on Instagram and Facebook is eliminated?
