The "likes" of Facebook are being eliminated And we like it!

The "likes" of Facebook could be eliminated in the future if the tests that the social network is doing in this regard are validated. The experiment has been discovered by Jane Manchun Wong , a specialist in discovering unprecedented features of applications through reverse engineering. Instagram, another of the social networks owned by Facebook,https://www.vediostatus.com/fb-status began a test in early 2019 that removed the 'likes' in user posts. Instagram has extended the experiment to seven countries throughout the year and everything indicates that the parent company has also begun to test this feature. Wong has located it in the Android app where Facebook's “like” counter is removed in a very similar way to Instagram , where users see the list of a handful of friends who reacted to a particular post and Not the total number. The count, however, 

is still available for comments and the author can see the number. The objective of this change has several objectives, starting with mitigating part of the social pressure involved in sharing in these networks, preventing a user from comparing destructively with other users with thousands of likes and eliminating a publication that may be more useful, avoid sharing anything in the future or even leave the social network. The truth is that setting the quality, reactions or qualifying a specific message or publication as relevant content only for the amount of "likes" you receive, is -

 in our opinion - an aberration that is part of the philosophy of Facebook and others social networks since its inception. The ego of some may be satisfied, but little else, and, on the other hand, the artificial "inflation" of that number by brands, celebrities and other interests is the order of the day. Facebook https://www.vediostatus.com/fb-status confirmed the test to Techcrunch , but did not indicate whether it would take effect and when. We assume that the process will be very similar to Instagram. Facebook (and other networks) have multiple problems to solve , but in particular this is a step in the right direction towards another kind of philosophy of how they should work and of the same behavior of digital users.
