A TikTok post by Samantha Aiello reminisces about early Instagram and its evolution, resonating with 756,500 viewers. She recalls the excitement over gaining 11 likes when Instagram transitioned from showing user names to simply displaying total likes. Users shared their own nostalgic memories in comments, recalling when scrolling was limited and interactions were less algorithm-driven. As Instagram evolved after its acquisition by Meta, new features like Stories and Reels shifted the platform's focus from simplicity to a more complex user experience, leading to mixed reactions from early users.
I just want everybody to know that when social media started we would celebrate 11 likes on Instagram, because that was the moment it stopped showing you the names of the people who liked the post, and started showing you the number of people who liked the post.
This is extremely important information.
Also scrolling on the 3 or 4 new posts until you got to where you left off the first time. If no one posted you had nothing to see! Miss those days.
Do you remember when Instagram added the Story option? And everyone was annoyed bc it was clearly trying to be Snapchat lmaooo.
