Thoughts/opinions on Instagram’s trial of hiding public “likes” on US accounts?

I find it very hard to predict what will change in user behavior and attitudes. I guess the number of likes under a post has a big impact on our attitude to the content of that post. "A lot of people like it, so it has to be good." I'm not particularly prone to it, but many people are. And if the removal of public like numbers leads users, especially young people, not to focus their values so much on social media, that should be welcome. But who knows if this will be the result?
