Instagram tests out ‘like-less’ feed in Canada

We say “like-less” but technically that isn’t what that means. We’ve reported this earlier, but Instagram has started rolling this test out here in Canada recently. The social network is taking away the ability of your users to see how many likes your posts get. What they’ll see instead is they’ll see one username and then the words “and others.” They won’t be able to see the actual number. Instagram says they’re trying this out because they want “your followers to focus on what you share, not how many likes your posts get.” However, you will be able to see how many likes your posts get. Some users online claim this defeats the purpose or essence of Instagram. But what do you think? Would you rather your followers see your “numbers” or just keep that figure to yourself?
