Sooo we have this in Australia and as a casual I haven’t noticed any difference. Influencers can still show how many distinct ‘likes’ they get, it’s just an extra step? Maybe it pushes down engagement, but if people are only liking your images because they can see that 10,000 other people have already liked it (and…

“it is more concerning for influencers, whose livelihood is dependent on being able to prove to sponsors and advertisers that they have an engaged following.”
