@Tweetfiction It won’t happen suddenly. But in a decade or so, we’ll all start to wonder, “What happened to Meta?” @atomicpoet @atomicpoet 100%. Facebook's "identity" was to steal others concepts, scale them and make them work better. Meta isn't even able to do that anymore. @atomicpoet Instagram has a major problem with fake spam cloned lookalike accounts. and literally refuse to do anything about. These accounts copy every single photo of an account, copy the profile photo, make a fake account off by ONE character, buy followers/following to match close to the account they are cloning and then spam the actual account’s real followers. Instagram should be able to detect this. Once reported they should be able to immediately block the account. They do not @atomicpoet @atomicpoet I would agree with you. They have Facebook which is losing popularity and is becoming known as an old person site. They bought Instagram and it's doing ok. They've completely failed at VR and pretty much sunk the Oculus brand. I don't know what they're doing with Instagram, but it's the only thing they've got that isn't dieing, but they don't seem to be innovating at all. @atomicpoet I’m on it because that’s where my family and older friends are. But the content being presented to me is not relevant. Many scantily clad tik tik rips and then straight into men’s rights videos and then down the right wing hole. It’s is nuts. Its five posts which aren’t “suggested” and “sponsored” to see something from someone I know or follow. And it’s a rat eating it’s own rail since the video auto plays on your phone so it thinks you want more of that content. It’s the worst. @atomicpoet I wonder if their user base is going to have to slowly age out? The main reason I'm still there is keeping in touch with my 85 year old mom, and the fact that the readership for one of my wife's writing genres (cozy romance) trends old (though there are signs of a younger readership moving in). |
@atomicpoet Twitter really seems to be on the fast track to failure... $42K/mnth for API access? And that the lowest level? Insanity.
