Why Instagram Removing Like Counts Is the Greatest Change the Platform Has Ever Made
With Instagram gradually rolling out the removal of the number of likes an image gets being visible, a lot of reactions have surfaced: confusion, animosity, and for some — like me — excitement.
Why Instagram Should Hide Follower Counts and Why It Never Will
Instagram appears to be in the process of rolling out a surprising change to its platform: hiding the number of times that a post has been liked.

If it really wants to improve things, it should go one step further and hide follower counts too. You can be sure, however, that it never will.
