Instagram has been testing out hiding likes and now Facebook is too, but is this smart? To me, it kind of defeats the purpose of "social" media. If you can't see this interactions on other people's profiles, pages and groups, it loses a big social aspect, right?

I love how Facebook figured out that humans could be driven by likes and shares and could become addicted to it. It was a tool that Facebook exploited. How odd to see this change. Isn't it too little too late?

That is what I was thinking too. I don't think it will hold up. It is going to take away a lot of the interaction and that will drive people away from liking and sharing content on Facebook.

It truthfully doesn't matter to me either way. I mostly use Facebook for memes and cute animal pictures. I think it's a bad brand decision, though since Facebook is known for that specific feature.

I agree with that and I honestly can't see them making this a long-term change. It's just experimentation. Facebook wants to pretend to care just to distract from their serious issues.
