One of the things I remember learning from someone at Snapchat, and some of the college students, was how Snap's refusal to show public stats creates a healthier incentive system.https://t.co/5TbFzGiRAb

Lots of food for thought at #F8 today.

Instagram is testing hiding like counts from followers. Adam Mosseri told us it's about "creating a less pressurized environment where people feel comfortable expressing themselves...We do hear people worry about how many like counts they get.” https://t.co/SCnmnRSJiE pic.twitter.com/1BTsNLmArJ

Some thoughts on Instagram’s plans to 'hide' likes on photos and videos. First as a trial in Canada, but pressure will sustain enough to roll it out globally https://t.co/aKhLeyKyDi

Looks like someone over at Instagram finally tried out Instagram Demetricator... https://t.co/6BmsQP1aiv

— ben grosser (@bengrosser) May 1, 2019

I think that they should do this on Twitter, but, as the custodian of a wildly popular Instagram account (34.7K followers), I think this is a terrible idea to implement over there. https://t.co/IPNl1KuKzJ

— willy ?♍ (@willystaley) May 1, 2019

Healthy move, but I think it won’t last.
“Instagram will test hiding the like count from photos, and view counts from videos, in an effort to get users to pay attention to the content itself and not their associated engagement metrics.” https://t.co/rnUwcBVw0j

— Riada Ašimović Akyol (@riadaaa) April 30, 2019

What are your thoughts on the test Instagram is running where they only show your followers that people have liked your post but doesn’t show them the number of likes? I think it will be great because people can focus on the content rather than numbers now https://t.co/IidadqInxz

인스타그램이 캐나다를 시작으로 게시물의 '좋아요' 개수를 미표시합니다. 게시자는 개수를 확인할 수 있습니다.

인스타그램 측은 이를 "팔로워들이 사진과 영상에 집중할 수 있게 하기 위해" 라고 이유를 밝혔습니다.https://t.co/npC2XClAIw
