  To be able to keep track of likes, and who has liked your posts and show their Gravatars (if they have one), WordPress.com has to have something to tie the likes to within our system and to the correct Gravatars.

  If you would like to disable Likes, go to Settings→Sharing and choose “Turned on per post” next to WordPress.com Likes are.

  Alternately you can use the following CSS to hide the likes from posts and pages.

  div.jetpack-likes-widget-wrapper {
      display: none;
  }

  Thank you all for your info on this. I really want to show “likes” on my posts and pages, but the sign-in process is confusing my not-so-tech-savvy friends. They feel they are signing on to wordpress, which confuses them. When they like a post, can the sign in process be changed so they can just sign in, add a password, and then move on?

  Sorry, the signup process is not something that is configurable. On the Follow Blog feature, the user only has to enter a email address, but for likes, WordPress.com needs a little more information. The user does not have to sign up for a blog, they can sign up for a username only.
