Media sosial berbasis foto, Instagram, baru-baru ini mengumumkan rencana mereka untuk menghilangkan angka orang yang memberi "likes" di sebuah postingan dan hanya orang yang mempostingnya yang mengetahui jumlahnya.
Meski banyak yang memuji langkah ini, yang dipercaya bisa membantu untuk melawan tekanan yang didapat dari media sosial, namun ada juga yang kurang mendukung. Seperti Nicki Minaj, yang mengatakan akan berhenti menggunakan medsos ini jika memang jumlah "likes" dihilangkan.
Nicki mengungkap hal ini secara panjang lebar di akun media sosialnya.
I’m not posting on IG after this week cuz they removing the likes. Hmmmm what should I get into now? Think of all the time I’ll have with my new life

They will replace that too. You’ll see. This isn’t about how smaller companies will cope. It’s about WHY the bigger company is doing it. This is why musicians make no money. The labels & streaming services knew what to say to pacify us. They continue to make the REAL MONEY. https://t.co/KgePqkuqBj

We are so easily pacified. Harriet would never. Y’all smoking dick if y’all think labels ain’t pissed about the level of power independent artists now have by way of IG. They all work TOGETHER. Unlike us... settling for crumbs. But memba when I spoke on other shit b4 it happened?

And who do you think is controlling those numbers? so that influencers can be out here “influencing” ppl to LIKE all the new stuff they bout to do? They gotta get y’all on board to spread the word. Just like how YouTube can take away or add a million views @ any given moment ? https://t.co/7Bqz0QbRvI

They took away your engagements in the first place by disrupting the algorithm. Then they boost it to show you how much better this new iPhone is. I mean how much better this new IG feature is. —- lemme guess, u don’t believe your iPhone messes up when the new iPhone comes out...

The fact that you think my convo is about “likes” is even funnier. I mean... sad... and a lil bit scary. (I’d insert the same GIF but I don’t know how to). https://t.co/qPvJ9Gj175

Menurutnya menghilangkan "likes" bukan berarti situasi menjadi membaik. Karena bagi Nicki "likes" ini cukup penting bagi orang.
Memang diakui Nicki ini masalah yang cukup pelik, tapi daripada menghilangkan jumlah "likes" ia menawarkan agar Instagram menciptakan lingkungan yang lebih nyaman dan tidak kompetitif, serta memberi ruang agar penggunanya bisa lebih fokus dengan orang yang disayangi atau hal-hal yang menginspirasi mereka.
