Summary: The text discusses the impact of social media on mental health, focusing on Instagram's recent decision to hide likes. Research has shown that social media use, particularly on platforms like Instagram, can exacerbate feelings of anxiety, depression, and loneliness, as users constantly compare themselves to others and seek validation through likes and comments. By hiding likes, Instagram aims to reduce this pressure and create a more positive and authentic user experience. However, critics argue that this move may not be enough to address the underlying issues of social media's influence on mental health, and more comprehensive measures such as increasing transparency around algorithms and promoting self-esteem and positive body image are needed to combat the negative effects of social media on well-being.
