I would really ️like being able to disable the ️like button on Instagram as you can for comments. I don't like the approval seeking nature of the way it is presented.
I can imagine an improvement in many UI's if I had a way to tailor it for what I want, not some corporate one size fits all.
Like:
1. See no likes.
2. Filter out comments that are deeply nested quotes.
3. Filter out specific people on a specific subject that I don't need to read again.
4. Switch off all adverts.
5. Never see a public post.
6...
EDIT: HN filtered out my emoji :S
