I think and hope we’ll reach a point where people won’t care about how many likes their posts get, because there will be so many bots that the metric just becomes irrelevant.
Unfortunately, like counters are a quick dopamine hit for many people (that little spike of happiness people get when the number goes up) but I think this will change.
When the majority of the likes are from bot accounts, people will stop caring, because at that point, it’s meaningless.
