SOCIAL MEDIA: Instagram Hides Number Of ‘Likes’ On Post To Prevent Low Self Esteem Social media platform, Instagram is hiding ‘likes’ count in various countries such as Australia and Japan to “remove pressure” on users. The trial which begins today, Thursdays, 18th July, will see ‘Instagrammers’ just seeing a user name and “others” liking the post rather than seeing a username and a particular number of people liking the post. However, users can view the number of likes on their own post. This step has been taken because, there have been concerns that social media platforms can contribute to low self-esteem and feelings of inadequacy in the youth. In May, Instagram launched a similar trial in Canada and the new test is rolling out in Australia, New Zealand, Ireland, Italy, Japan and Brazil, the company told the media. https://www./2019/07/social-media-instagram-hides-number-of-likes-on-post-to-prevent-low-self-esteem. 10 Likes

These kids are really soft these days. The amount of likes on other people's post is making them feel less than what they are? Is this where evolution is taking us? 232 Likes 15 Shares |

some people will just post without sense, many cannot put together all the mumbo jumbo that goes on in their heads into meaningful sentences. A good number of nairalanders fall into this category, likes is only a validation of a good constructed comment. Anyone feeling pressure should come and collect, i have thousands to give, its not like it transmits to credit alert. 18 Likes 2 Shares |

Even on Nairaland, many posters are like that. That's why many would only post on the front page just to garner likes. If it's not the front page, they wouldn't post, even where they have meaningful things to say. As if Likes were bitcoins. 34 Likes |

Please they should start to introduce this in Nigeria, most slay Queens we thought committed suicide because of relationship issues, school grades, lack of money actually committed suicide due to likes on Instagram, they want to get enough likes like celebrities. It's better we help them, if not we will see number of suicide skyrocketting in few years time. We have to help them, since they can't help themselves, because most of them have fish brains. 14 Likes 1 Share |

A minute silence for the kids and slay people who depends on numbers of likes and view on their post/status to be happy and feel accepted in the society. Kanye West was the first to speak about this. i can say he made it happen. Even though it was twitter he made reference to. 15 Likes 1 Share |
