Clout Demons about to be exorcised. :HoldUpBroham:

Alhamdulillah

They are really trying to kill the platforms by doing this imo but hey fukk up your money

I don’t think they ever imagined they’d be this influential over society and human behaviors

I think this is a subtle way of them scaling back while trying to stay in business

Sounds like a business opportunity to me, make an product called
"thumbsupagram!"

 

[CashmereThoughts]

they trying to control the money users make. make companies go directly to them to know who has how much influence

 

[Mowgli]

It's hilarious how these companies think they'll be around forever when they piss off their userbase

Kanye talked about this

I think they should first focus on getting rid of bots then from there change the impact of likes

I understand their intention but it's not going to make a difference. I like pictures based on if I like it, not based on if it has a lot of likes or the popularity of the page. Then again I mostly follow sports related pages, sneaker pages, comic book art pages, and joke/meme pages.

 

[Mr. Jack Napier]

This is good for kids.

Kids shouldn't be allowed on Instagram in the first place

 

[Virtuous_Brotha]

They'd be better of removing the comments section for a real 'test'

 

[FcKuPaYmE]

Not really. People are going to screenshot and post their likes.

Those people will get clowned in the comments.

I think this is more for the kids man, I know a few teachers and they say that “likes” are the center of their universe, they measure everything with them

 

[I Really Mean It]

The obsession over "likes" has ruined black society's participation in the online sphere, taking full advantage of our collective lack of self-esteem and preying on an insecure group of second class citizens, those who chase adoration from the public by worshiping the superficial and selling their souls. I doubt this will remain permanent, since social media has been a wonderful tool in the war waged on our minds by white society, but I welcome the change for however long it lasts.

This wont fukk up their money because IG has no rival. Unlike SC people just went to IG but the same wont all go to SC.

I hope they do this even tho im advertiser i dont give a fukk. Deliver us from these clout demons

This.. Times are different. Competition is bought out nowadays.

it was too late when Snapchat learned that
