Interesting! Thanks for the post!

Thanks for the information. In my opinion it won’t have a big impact for us (about removing Likes).

We will probably be able to get followers with ads (rather than like)

Having both Likes and Followers has been kind of redundant and slightly confusing, so I’m actually really glad that they’re just simplifying with one measurement.

I left fb and Im never looking back ?

But u can still follow a page correct ? This just gets rid of the LIKES and FOLLOW separate numbers ?

It turns out that simple positivity in life like “Nice pic bro” turned out to suicidal 14 years old whose picture didt get enoguh likes

Does this affect brand pages, too, or just content creators and public figures?

I never understood the idea of having like and follow, when they both do the same thing. I have also noted that music artist pages have removed the artists we like and management info sections

This is a good change, things will be less confusing for sure
