Hiding likes is a way for Instagram to control engagement and make money rather than protect users' mental health, she continued."If you think this is okay you can f**k off, it’s actually a sad day for those who have Instagram as a job," she wrote in a Facebook post this week.
"Regardless of what you may think Instagram is a REAL job and those in the industry have worked hard to get where they’re at.
"It’s people that aren’t even in the industry that think it’s a f**king joke. It’s not, it’s real damage out here."

"Instagram isn’t even doing this for mental health they’re just doing it so they can control all engagement so more businesses run their adverts through Instagram essentially giving them more $, they don’t care about your feelings."
