My world on the web
There is no shortage of online guides providing advice on how to get more likes on social media platform Instagram.
Likes are how the social media platform’s users show their approval of posts, and they drive a whole industry of influencers who make a living publishing carefully curated snapshots of their lives online.
But could this all be about to change?
But later this week Instagram will run a trial which will remove Canadian users’ ability to see the number of likes on others’ photos, and the views on their videos.
Users will be able to click through to see who and how many people like their own posts, but they will not be able to see the number of likes other users’ posts have attracted.
I prefer the way Micro.Blog uses ‘likes‘. They are not actually for the liker, not the likee. Instead, comments are given primacy.
