Instagram要移除一个关键功能：点赞数
Instagram may no longer want you to like on Instagram. Screenshots uncovered by researcher Jane Manchun Wong show that Instagram may be considering shaking things up on its social media site so posts no longer show exactly how many people have liked your post. Instead, you would see that a post was liked by a few named handles “and others.”
Instagram可能不想再让你点赞了。研究员Jane Manchun Wong提供的截图显示Instagram可能正在考虑调整其社交网站上的功能，发文中不再显示具体多少人喜欢你发的内容，你会看到几个给帖子点赞的人名“和其他人”。
“We want your followers to focus on what you share, not how many likes your posts get,” Instagram says in an in-app message explaining the change. “During this test, only the person who shared a post will see the total number of likes it gets.” The message is seemingly targeted at influencers or would-be Influencers.
Instagram在一条应用消息中对这项改变做出解释说：“我们想让喜欢你的人关注你分享的内容，而不是你发的内容得到了多少点赞数。功能变化测试期间，只有分享推文的人能看到点赞总数。”这则消息好像针对的是该应用上有影响力的人或潜在的有影响力的人。
The change seems to stem from a growing belief that like counts are bad for users’ mental health and can lead people to dangerous situations in pursuit of photos that will generate a lot of likes. Back in 2016, Instagram cofounder Kevin Systrom told TechCrunch that one of the reasons they created Instagram Stories was to get away from the pressure of like counts, and this could be the next stage in evolution toward a kinder, gentler Instagram.
做出这一改变可能是因为越来越多的人认为点赞数对用户的心理健康不利，使人们为了追求照片获得大量点赞而以身犯险。2016年Instagram联合创始人Kevin Systrom曾对TechCrunch（美国科技类博客）说他们创建Instagram Stories的一个原因就是要摆脱点赞数的压力，这可能也是Instagram进阶更友善、更温和社交应用的新举措。
Instagram confirmed to TechCrunch that it’s an internal test the public can’t see–yet. In a statement, an Instagram spokesperson said the feature is not being tested “at the moment,” but that “exploring ways to reduce pressure on Instagram is something we’re always thinking about.”
Instagram向TechCrunch证实这是内部测试，公众尚且无法看到。Instagram发言人在一次声明中说 “目前”还未测试这一特色功能，但“我们一直在探索减轻用户使用Instagram时的心理压力的方法。”
