My comment was referring to the feature itself, I see that the article kinda try to put the things in perspective, but not as strongly and sharply I think should be done.

Ah okay, your comment sounded like someone claimed it would fix the problem - but the article didn't say that - so I don't quite know who you were referring to!! In any case, no biggie. :)
>In its testing and research, Instagram said that removing likes had little impact on behaviour or wellbeing - after concerns that using the platform could be linked to insecurity and poor mental health.
>Despite this, Mr Mosseri said Instagram - which is owned by Facebook - introduced the feature to make “people feel good about the time they spend” on the platform. “I do think there’s more to do in this space,” he added. “The more we can give people the ability to shape Instagram and Facebook into what's good for them, the better.”
