Ab toh Instagram bhi boring ho gayi hai.
I just came across this : in future nobody can see likes on posts on instagram except the user
"We want your friends to focus on the photos and videos you share, not how many likes they get. You can still see your own likes by tapping on the list of people who've liked it, but your friends will not be able to see how many likes your post has received."
Its being already tested fully in canada new Zealand etc.
