20 years ago, the word “like” was completely different. He said we were going through very emotional processes. When we saw a person, a cat, a dog, a car, a house or anything, we listened to a song and watched a movie, which we liked or disliked. So we used to communicate in natural ways. Now unfortunately it is not. 3.5 billion of the 7.6 billion people alive today use social media, and social media has changed everything in our lives. We soon forget the other feelings we like when we like something. We consume fast, live a life stuck in the numbers. Emotions expressed with thumbs or hearts on social media have a commercial value in the eyes of big brands. This also applies to the social media platforms themselves. Facebook became the largest advertising company in the world after it bought Instagram. We liked something all the time, so Facebook followed our interests. When calendars showed 2012, Facebook, which had 900 million users at the time, bought an increasingly popular application for $ 1 billion. Instagram began to change slowly within Facebook. Today, only Facebook has 2.2 billion and Instagram has 1.2 billion users. The number of “tastes Yap exceeds trillion… Interesting statistics: When Facebook bought Instagram for $ 1 billion, Instagram had only 50 million users. This means that Facebook pays 20 dollars per user. In short, every taste has a financial equivalent. As the number of likes increased, it started to lose its meaning for us, and the money for Facebook began to decrease. The change was at the door and the time has come. When will Instagram hide the number of likes? Currently, tests have been conducted in the US, Canada, Japan, and Australia for appreciation updates. There is no official statement yet, but Instagram’s tests seem to be successful. Probably in the coming months we will see that the likes are suddenly hidden. Reasons to hide liking according to Instagram’s descriptions: Preventing people from experiencing depression and anxiety disorder ** Agram We want you to focus on the quality of the photos you share, not how much you like it, Inst Instagram said in his initial statement. Adam Mosseri, CEO of Instagram, said: için We are working for features that support people’s happiness and health **. In a scientific research conducted in 2017, Instagram was described as the social network with the worst impact on mental health. The psychological effects of the treatment were shown to cause anxiety and depression. It is natural that Instagram tries to get rid of this bad image by hiding the likes. As a matter of fact, flaunting is a reality inherent in Instagram. Everyone is happy there, everyone is rich, everyone’s quality of life is always high… Likes are the biggest reasons for such a distorted painting. That’s why Instagram is trying to solve problems from the root. This perspective leads us to a seemingly useful and well-intentioned conclusion. As a result, the more unhealthy the environment, the lower the financial value per Instagram or per user for Instagram.
