Instagram should still keep its likes. People can use Social Media for good by setting up fun raisers or other events.

I think we should keep Instagram likes because it will make people feel better about what they post. I think you can use Instagram in a positive way by keeping in touch with family and friends.

I think that ism they're going to do anything with the likes they should hide them so only the creator can see them if her or she wants to. One way that people can use social media for good is by posting their business or promoting other businesses.

Instagram should keep the likes so when people like it the other person knows they like it, but if they don’t it just means they forgot. They use it for good because of business promotion.

Likes aren't the biggest problem and shouldn't be taken away. Social media can promote businesses and musicians.

I think that Instagram should keep the number of likes for people to see because, like it said in the article, peoples skills may not get noticed and they could miss out on future jobs if the like feature is removed. People could use Instagram to show examples of helping others or doing good in some other way.

Likes should be kept. People have the right to profess their preference/attitude towards a pic as long as it is done without maliciousness. Also, likes can be used for appreciation of something wholesome, such as charity events and fundraisers.

They should keep likes, it shows people what they like and what they don't. It shouldn't be a competition and if you are that crazy for an app then delete it. It can be useful for giving out dates and times quick and cheap.

I think Instagram should keep likes. The article only mentioned how teens feel they don’t get enough likes. But they didn’t mention how great it must feel to get a lot of likes. If they should get rid of something, if anything, it should be the comments because that is where people really post hate.

In my opinion, I believe likes and comments should be kept. Many people run businesses thru social media and it is a way to get people opinions. For teens that need the satisfaction for likes and followers that can't handle it emotionally, should re-evaluate the need for an account.

I think Instagram should keep likes, and Social Media in general can be good. It can connect people from around the world, and you can keep in touch with people.

I think that likes should stay on Instagram because they can be used in a positive way. People can use social media for good by sharing messages that they feel are important and supporting others.

I think that Instagram should allow users to disable the "like" feature when they post on the app. That way, people who don't care for the stress of getting enough likes can disable the feature and those who want a like button on their post can keep it. There is a lot of ways that social media can be used for good but one of them would be bringing attention to many of the problems in the world.

I think Instagram should keep its likes because of people on Instagram that work really hard to post content and make it work for a living.

I don't think instagram should get rid of likes because how many likes you have on a photo don't define who you are. A way that likes can be used for good is to voice an important opinion or promote for a good cause.

I think Instagram should keep the like feature because it is one of the only ways that we can express that we like a post besides on commenting and some people just scroll through their recommended posts and just liking posts but not commenting. One way social media can be used for good is business like for example people showing off their products and ideas.

I think that instagram should keep there likes because you can show how you feel about that post by liking it. One way social media can be helpful or useful is you can post a picture of something that you want to sell.

I think Instagram should keep likes because it will be the same with or without likes so why take out something that isn't going to make any difference.

I think that getting rid of the public seeing likes is not what Instagram should do. I think this because the person can still see the number of likes a they get, and they can still compare themselves. Instagram should keep likes because either way people might feel like they didn't get enough likes.

I think instagram should keep its likes sure it has some pros and cons but without the likes it would basically be random people posting anything they want. How would you know whats funny or just flat out dumb?

I think instagram should hide likes because it may cause people to change the way they normally act just to get likes or to beat their friend in likes.

I believe that Instagram should keep likes. Teens shouldn't care about online approval from random strangers. They really should only care about the people that accept them. Teens should never seek out attention from people wanting them to change who they are, especially online. If people aren't liking your post they are not worthy of being your friend. If teens don't learn to accept themselves now, how do you expect them to act as adults?

I think that instagram should keep likes, but they should not let you be able to see them. I think that the person who posted the photo should get a notification when a person likes the photo, but they can't see the overall likes that they get.

Likes are good things. They can help people who posted the thing know if some of the things they are doing are acceptable. Social Media can be very good and help get your name or business's name known.

I think that Instagram should keep the likes but they should hide them so that people cant compare their likes to one another. Instagram should not be used to compare people yet sometimes it is used that way.

Instagram should keep its likes to show viewers that some people like the pictures users send. One way people can use social media for good is to promote things for the world like promoting animals and prevent violence.

I know nothing about social media, or if any of this conflicts with other features, etc. If likes were disabled on social media, nobody would be able to tell what their audience enjoys or doesn't enjoy (and thus what to make more of, from a money-making perspective); however, enabling likes causes many avoidable issues with mental health. I think a middle ground would be helpful in solving this issue. Rather than enabling or disabling likes, perhaps social media platforms could hide one account's number of likes from everyone else. That way, nobody could pettily compare their number of likes to another's. Another potential solution is letting the user decide whether they want to see the amount of likes on other people's posts, but that would only work given people's self-control allows them to do so.
