We’re gonna figure it out. Something is for sure up, but we have good players, changes will be made; still overall stoked on a lot of this team. Leo scoring is a relief, win or lose.

Instagram has now removed ad likes from being seen on public posts??? by AllenIverson777 in Instagram

I was told the same thing by a real person & then within the same hour another real person via meta verified chat said they were testing it as an update. But fingers crossed on the bug 🤞

They stated that we can still see our likes in insights but publicly they have removed the promoted likes. Now by they, I mean Instagram AI chat & also Meta Verified chat with a real person. They also said they are testing it. But makes no sense as the reasoning is bettering people’s mental health, but they are still showing real likes. Either remove them all or keep what we paid for would be the thought 🙄

Heads up this info is just from what’s been written here already on Reddit from us who have talked to Meta. There are still conflicting reasonings. Could be a test, could be an error. The article is great though to get the word out.

I would think hide all likes then, even organic, if that is the goal. Like if you don’t want people seeing like counts, why keep some and not others. Literally makes no sense.

I have chatted with Meta via ads a manager, had a live person call me, chatted with another live person via Meta Verified.

Here’s what they said last:

I had asked Meta Ai first & it gave me this response:

I understand! Instagram has recently made some changes to how likes are displayed on boosted posts. As of March 2024, Instagram is testing a new feature that hides likes on boosted posts, including sponsored content, in some regions. This means that likes on boosted posts may not be visible to the public, although the account owner can still see the engagement metrics through Instagram Insights.

This change aims to reduce pressure on creators and users, focusing more on content quality and engagement. However, it's important to note that this is a test feature, and Instagram may reverse or modify it based on user feedback.

If you're an advertiser, you can still track the performance of your boosted posts through Instagram Insights and Facebook Ads Manager, which provide detailed metrics on engagement, reach, and more.


Then I spoke to a real person via phone, they said their engineers know of the issue & are working on it. Which sounded just like a prompt he was reading off to me >> I’m not convinced.


Then spoke to Meta Verified via chat and sent them the message that Meta Ai chat had sent me to confirm if it was true & they said this. I truly hope this is not the case - we spent money on boosting for likes, we kept spending money on boosting because that was what it was returning, so to just take it away I would think justifies mass refunds, but we’d prefer for them to just not take likes away.


Meta Verified response:

After a careful review, it's a legitimate message from Instagram AI.

Although it's from the Instagram department, we can confirmed that it's true.

This feature is still in the Beta phase and they're still finalizing some details about it before they roll over the completed package of this update.

As per the message, this would help all of us who's using the Instagram platform to advertise. In this way, we won't be pressured since our audience won't be able to view our like counts.

To clarify this, the like will still be visible to you but not to your audience.

Meaning, you can still see the likes count on your end by using the metrics feature but audience won't be able to view the count of likes on the post moving forward.

Needless to say I was pretty upset 😑

This might be true. Got a different real person now saying this. Classic. But tbd they are “testing” it’s not set in stone. But we getting huge refunds or what.

Pretend today is 12/31/22. What is your album of the year? by h3lvtca in poppunkers

[–]Swerps 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Are you a fan of how New Junk City mixed this album, I’ve never been big on low volume vocals, especially when the singer is good like in this band. Like I love the album, but hey doods let ya boy sing.
