Instagram has recently rolled out a new initiative to hide the total count of likes on user posts.
“The idea is to try to depressurize Instagram, make it less of a competition, and give people more space to focus on connecting with the people they love and things that inspire them.”
–Instagram CEO, Adam Mosseri
