Instagram Removes Likes in Canada - Death Of Vanity Metrics? // Instagram to remove likes // Instagram is testing the removal of public like counts on Instagram posts in Canada. This could lead to the total removal of public likes from the Instagram platform world wide. Will other social networks follow their example?

I personally see this as a step towards a more socially responsible approach by social media companies. This will make likes private to the account holder and so would stop bullying or limit the damage that vanity metric can cause to users.
