A lot of Influencers, including bloggers like myself with real followers are not so happy with this new experiment, and not knowing if it’ll stay like this is stressful.
Sucks for these other entertainment sites, bloggers and “Instagram models” who pay for their followers and likes. (Of course some music artist too).
Funny how Kanye West said he wanted to speak to Instagram about taking away likes earlier this year…
