This algorithm will remove the number of likes from posts and only show the names of a few mutual friends who liked the photo.

When Kylie Jenner likes a product, we all like it. Or at least that’s what we all used to believe. Looking at the millions of likes and followers she sustains, you’d think her sphere of influence is incredibly large. And you wouldn’t be wrong. But consumers these days are getting smarter. When Jenner says she loves the Revlon (or whatever […]
