It's difficult to quantify all of the ways in which social media has warped our perception of reality, but one of the most impactful has to be the way that all of our biggest life events are now judged with likes. Over the years, Facebook has caught flak for giving like counts such prominence, and in response, the social media giant is finally giving users the option to turn them off.
Starting today, you will now have the option to hide public like counts on every post in your feed on Facebook and Instagram. You can also choose to hide like counts on your own posts, so no one can see how many likes any of your updates or photos have received. Facebook hopes that this will let users focus on the content rather than the numbers below the post.
