Kenyan renowned media personality, Larry Madowo just graced the Instagram millionaire´s club and now wants the app to get rid of the ´like´ button.

Through his social media, the BBC reporter shared:

Thanks a million! I can’t wait for Instagram to hide likes, starting in the US this week. I have a million followers & thousands of likes but using either for validation is unhealthy & dangerous.

Further explaining:

It creates an impossible standard for most people. I hope they’re removed permanently for everyone around the world.

Sure to it, Kenyans were actually in approval of the move airing:

Second that !

BOOOOOM ????????

Well done mate and I totally agree with you. We need to go beyond the likes…

@larrymadowo here in Japan its already effective ???????????? # STAYWOKE ???????? @cheche_3

The project that started in July, has already kicked off in Australia, Brazil, Canada Ireland, Italy, Japan and New Zealand.

One can however  still view the ´like´ count on their own photos and videos, but not that of others. Instagram´s Adam Mosseri explained that the intention was to take care of people´s well-being and health.
