It makes me think: why is a successful company which introduced a feature to supposedly improve the product beginning to consider it's better for some users to remove it instead? I think we will regret the day when we realize we've innovated and revolutionized technology to the point where it can overpower our minds. Humans seem to be really good at designing engagement traps when they have all the tools, look to the future and see all the possibilities before them. These people pay millions of dollars for you to choose their app over writing some words on paper, or going for a hike, or any other action you could take. Also, I don't think Instagram would offer the option to disable likes if they didn't believe it would ultimately help them retain more users.
