To put it simply, it’s for our own good. According to a statement, the company started hiding like counts for certain countries to see if it would “depressurize people’s experience” on Instagram.

Research shows that we tend to equate our online success—followers, comments and like counts—with our self worth, especially in our teens. In 2020, a study of 513 teenage girls in Brazil found that 78% of them had tried to hide or change a part of their body they disliked before posting a photo. Another found that 43% of teens with low social-emotional wellbeing have deleted social media posts because they got too few likes. It’s also notable that in 2019, 25% of teens admitted to being the victim of cyberbullying.

People take likes on social media way too seriously. Most of the time it has nothing to do with the quality of the post. There's so many factors that go into whether or not people like your posts.
The most common ones being they didn't see it, or they were just scrolling and were too lazy to hit the like button.

The same applies to comments too.
I posted a comment on YouTube once that got 5K likes in 2 days, then I ended up deleting that account, and went back on my new account and posted the exact same comment, word for word, to see if would get the same attention. I checked it a couple months later and it had maybe 3 likes.

Obviously it had nothing to do with the quality of the comment. It was just the wrong place at the wrong time

No. Why would I care about how many likes I get? Doesn't change anything in my life. If a lot people find 1 picture interesting, then great.
