The only people that make money based on ‘likes’ or follower counts are celebrities like Nicki who will advertise a product, and some of them don’t even put #ad and pretend they actually use the product. Like laxative tea & girdles.
Nicki Minaj RANTS about Instagram Removing Likes
- Thread starter CBalla
- Start date
Likes are typically indicative of reach (although likes per impressions vary with content quality). Reach does translate into sales. If you can drive likes, you will drive reach, since Instagram's algorithm takes likes into account hidden or not.
Obviously they aren't the only metric and work in combination with the other ones like shares, followers, etc. They all feed into the overall engagement rate, which is something that does matter if you're looking for someone to promote your brand.
That being said, Nicki Minaj is whining for no reason and needs to get over it.

Perhaps she may "rethink" retiring from rap given one of her streams of income may go away

Stfu you hoe i support IG removing this thots like , if you want likes go on pornhub and bust it open you thots
She's right, but I don't see the removal holding. Instagram is majority women and they live off those likes. Removing those will make usage rates drop and open them up to a competitor who gives women that sweet validation back.

Loool please don't be naive enough to belive that this business and its rich owners give a damn about the well being of the general public, Nicki is right. People love trends and shyt in this planet, that's how things go viral, now without like features it's harder for everyone else to see what's popping, things won't get pushed or promoted based on likes, the amount of likes a video or a brand gets is validation to others, without that it makes it harder for the normal person to blow it. YouTube are doing the same thing with how they are changing. All these platforms are making it harder for the regular person to come up through them
I hate the way she talks.

I remember this, you would have thought someone shot her cat or dog. Prime example of what's wrong with our social media society.

Sorry, that's another B
For people who didn't listen but commented away 
, Nicki is saying that Instagram's excuse for mental health and self-esteem for users is 
and it's really about them being upset that they aren't getting a cut of the money that individuals make through IG by getting sponsored for "likes". You know, because if companies see influencers getting a certain amount of "Likes" per posts, they might want them to endorse their products and IG is 
they're not getting that dinero. Never thought about it that way. She may be on to something.
