Have you wondered why some people\u2019s photos get a ridiculous number of likes while others don\u2019t? Garnering Instagram likes is both a science and an art\u2014it depends on the time of day you post and the profile of your users. Here are the 6 top reasons why your photos aren\u2019t getting likes:<\/big><\/p>\n<p>  <b>Note:<\/b> These are just <i>jokes<\/i>, no need to take them seriously. <\/p>\n<p>  <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.beirut.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/49517.png\" width=\"100%\"><\/p>\n<p>  <B><Big><Big>1. You don\u2019t have enough <i>khaltos<\/i> and <i>3amtos<\/i> (aunts) on your friends list<\/big><\/big><\/b><\/p>\n<p>  <Big>I\u2019m sure everyone can relate to this: you post a photo and only seconds later, your khalto likes it. Instagram users with big families have a huge advantage here; the greater the khalto count, the greater the number of likes you will get. Bonus: you will also probably get a string of heart emojis commented on your photo. It doesn\u2019t matter if you look awful, your khalto will like it.<\/big><\/p>\n<p>  <B><Big><Big>2. You\u2019ve blocked your mom and all her friends<\/big><\/big><\/b><\/p>\n<p>  <Big>You may want to shield their delicate eyes from your busty selfie, but just know that middle aged people are a factory of likes. They will throw out likes at ANYTHING, including fake viral photos of miracles. So if you can stomach that \u201cto2borneeee\u201d comment, unblock and get showered with likes!<\/big><\/p>\n<p>  <B><Big><Big>3. You are not liking other people\u2019s posts<\/big><\/big><\/b><\/p>\n<p>  <Big>Instagram likes is a two-way street\u2014you need to reciprocate and be generous with your own like button.<\/big><\/p>\n<p>  <B><Big><Big>4. Photo Overdose<\/big><\/big><\/b><\/p>\n<p>  <Big>We have already seen a thousand similar selfies and you keep posting pictures that look identical. People will have like fatigue and stop liking them just to spite you.<\/big><\/p>\n<p>  <B><Big><Big>5. Filters. Annoying filters.<\/big><\/big><\/b><\/p>\n<p>  <Big>The dog filter is cute the first time, acceptable the second time, but just downright irritating the third time. You cannot expect people to like your snapchat filter pictures once you have posted more than one. Stop with the fairy filters people, we know there isn\u2019t really a flower crown on your head!<\/big><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><big>Getting a lot of likes on social media
