IG

Sad_Chest1484

It’s only gotten better, that’s the point. IG used to be trash.

Opposite_Ostrich_905

There are a lot of directions an in app AI can go, just to list a few - User sees an ad and asks AI to find something similar but different in some way and AI provides some options and a link to buy them. Meta charges companies for click through. - A business user wants to share some news to its follower, think new item at a resultant IG page or independent fashion brand releasing a new line, asks AI to craft a post for them that will drive engagement. Meta charges these business accounts for such feature. - An influencer asks AI to fix up a photo of theirs to look better or remove some objects photobombing. Not sure how this can be monetized, maybe similar to the above and have a “pro version” account I think there’s value to be discovered for sure

Thisguymoot

Start making IG reels and become a 2nd rate TikTok creator you crybaby whores.

disgustingquart59

Meta AI is embedded into their products (WA, IG, FB). Think of ChatGPT + Perplexity native in the apps people already use. May not be as good, but it'll get there.

yolo24seven

Millennials and boomers use it. IG is also huge.

Sad_Chest1484

IG reels are highly addictive. Try going through them, they recommend what you like at a pretty good frequency. That’s the $$ in AI

TheYoungLung

IG/Facebook reels are trash. I know this is reddit so tiktok bad but the app can be genuinely informational and funny as hell. They have an amazing algorithm and they wont be easily replaced. If TikTok ever becomes a US listed company i would buy that stock in a heartbeat

tinderizeme20

That $90 to $500 ride might've been amazin, but I only care about IG hoes. Facebook? Ass. Metaverse? Ass. Threads? Ass.

gatovision

Who still uses FB? Ghost town. IG is still going strong but that’s all they have, if they didn’t buy it they’d be F’d. FB is still their main product, no way it’s doing good.

fannypackbuttsnack

Maybe Meta shouldn't have replaced FB and IG's search bar with a dumb fuckin AI assistant

Caesars_Palace321

I use IG.

vinniedamac

What I want to know is who even uses Whatsapp? I literally have like 8 messaging apps and none of them are WhatsApp.. signal, telegram, WeChat, discord, GroupMe, Snapchat, IG, messenger

vinniedamac

I would assume most TikTok users are already IG users tho

Fritzschmied

from the creater perspective i think youtube is the better alternative as IG because people can actually earn money for their content on youtube in comparison to IG from what I know. And people will go where their favourite creators are.

danfay222

Snapchat may still have the lead, but it is definitely slipping. Very few of my friends still use it, and for years it was basically the standard. It’s being replaced by either iMessage or messenger for messages, and instagram for basically everything else. Obviously the actual app use cases are anecdotal based on mine and my friends experiences. However the actual IG data is pretty telling, with significant upticks in usage among younger demographics (gen z and below)

xedops

snapchats version of "short form content" is the most brainrotted of them all I can strongly say they will not take much market share if tiktok gets banned in the department of short videos, young people use it to snap each other but not to watch the content, IG by far is the best alternative and will take a majority of the share

nastythrowawayacct

when is snapchat earnings? and do you really think tik tok ban will hype snap? if anything it’d boost meta since they own IG and instagram has their fake version of tik tok which pretty popular

RatherOakyAfterbirth

Actually on second look, seems like Snap is more likely to get more traffic. In terms of ranking by platform among Gen Z its: - Snapchat: 51.1% - Tiktok: 44.7% - IG: 33.7% - X: 32.6% - Reddit: 28.2% 

btctrader12

That’s absolute cope. Everyone still uses IG

RatherOakyAfterbirth

Not Gen Z. They mostly hate IG because it’s the millennial and gen X platform of choice.  I’ve been teaching this generation for years now, they absolutely shit on IG at any chance they get. 

btctrader12

Noone watches or sends YouTube shorts to others in conversations. People do that with IG though

RatherOakyAfterbirth

I’d say considering the Tiktok generation prefers YouTube over IG, I’d say youtube shorts are more likely to see an influx of new users from a Tiktok ban.

milandina_dogfort

IG reels is a direct COPY of tiktok you noober. And it fails. The reason why tiktok is popular is because it gives you waht you want to see.

larrylegend1990

IG reels are so dead compared to tiktok

deekaydubya

IG reels is the exact same thing and is massively popular

deekaydubya

Lmao well your anecdotes do not match reality I’m sorry to say. Both IG and FB are insanely popular

DOO_DOO_BAG

You should maybe check out the fidelity subreddit. The mods are actual Fidelity CS and are super active and helpful in there. I believe that’s the case on Facebook, IG and Reddit.

Shepherd0fSouls

Looks like I paperhanded my $800 of deep ITM Friday poots for like a gain of $20, but I don't trust $SPY to die before theta cucks me. Well, profit is profit IG lol. 

DepartmentTall4891

I agree. It's perplexing. Ndes cycle says he doubled down and went all in on robotaxi but why can't he synthesize the two? Buy a robotsxi for $25,000, drive it IG unwant to or just driverless Uber all day.

kolossal

Exactly, that's why you always see randoms on IG with stuff on their descriptions like "50k+ tik tok followers!". They can't seem to have their tik tok following follow them on other media.

MiddleChildVictory

This is a huge attack on freedom of speech as well as people's income. 7 million people run their businesses on TikTok and it's better than anything the US has ever created. It's owned by international investors and only 20% is Chinese investors. The US only makes up 2% of the user base, they have no reason to sell. The US is trying to enact a very dangerous legislation, trying to steal a company from private investors! Also we will ruin it, all good social media is ruined upon sale. IG was downgraded by FB, Elon tanked twitter, selling to people who aren't the original creators always makes it worse bc it's sole function becomes profit and we loose all function till it's bankrupt.

surebro2

Yup! You're right. I haven't seen Amazon floated (and I hadn't given it much thought). But Amazon would become what Elon wants Twitter to be (one stop shop app like they have in China). Amazon is good at messaging, so I'm sure they'll say, "unlike all of the other potential acquirers, we don't really compete in the social media space.... and TikTok is \*winks\* only a social media platform \*winks\*" lol Because that would implicate Microsoft, to the extent LinkedIn is in the same competitive space as IG, Twitter, FB. I personally don't trust that Amazon wouldn't try to go all in on integration (e.g., promoting Amazon product tiktoks with links), which would diminish the product. But I also don't use TikTok so I wouldn't be impacted haha

Kilo2Ton

here is a play related to all this - tiktok already said that they will now release an IG competitor in the US as a fuck you to META and rightfully so. PUTS on META and anything related to it.

Caesars_Palace321

I use IG

Cpt_Obvius

I’m not too sure we’re in the same era, as crazy as that sounds for a 7 year old platform. Influencers unfortunately hold a stronger grasp on a wider section of the public than they did in 2017. The “job” has evolved and become more sophisticated and structured (while simultaneously remaining an inane pox). Influencers are on multiple platforms and their followers are more invested in them now than they did 7 years ago. I think a near exact clone of tik tok would quickly transfer followers, with people staying in touch through IG in the interim. For sure, there will be a founder effect and this would shake up and some would lose their following, but I think it may be less than you would assume.

keasdenfall

I heard somewhere that it has access to all your photos and camera all the time, like even when you’re not using the app? Supposedly it takes pics through your camera every minute with the app closed? It seems so paranoid but also who’s to say Facebook IG etc aren’t also doing this?

Equivalent_Length719

Roflmao. No the fact you think the US government is stepping in for parents is a boldly unintelligent statement. It's purely for political gain because THEIR companies don't control the data it's literally as simple as that. It's EXTREMELY easy to block these sorts of apps if a parent actually wanted to. It's extremely easy for us to access another version of the app. Hell a third party version. Anyone whom actually understand tech would know this is a farce and a joke AT BEST. Oh yea let's let IG be top that's sooo much fucking better. Do you know how much porn is on IG? Jesus but for the kids right?

Quirky_Scratch_1755

> Jesus the crocodile tears. " THINK OF THE CHILDREN!" maybe their parents should be more apprised to what they do online instead of the US government banning the single largest public speaking platform that currently exists because they don't control it. The jokes write themselves. If you're being genuine, this is a serious unintelligent take. Parents are failing and the US gov is stepping in. Instagram/IG Reels will go back to being king

RDDTModsSuckDick

I thought the B100 and GB200s come out in Q4? Also, does "planning for those B100s" mean Meta has paused purchase of H100s? Reading IG for investment clues is better than Bloomberg. Motherfuckers on there are saying SMCI non-pre-announcement means NVDA won't meet expectations...even though SMCI is not a licensed NVDA partner.

bigedcactushead

This is China projecting. They know how they intend to use TikTok as a weapon against the U.S. and so they prevent the reverse by banning IG, FB, X, Twitter, Google and all the rest.

taizer4

IG Index does it in the UK

FlyPenFly

Commies: yeah, no we banned this harmful shit years ago along with IG, FB, YT, etc.

AnotherScoutTrooper

ignoring Meta when IG reels is in second place to them is crazy

Are you fecking serious? Asking IG feckwits for financial advice...lol

bipolarxpres

bzl33

I understand why Twitter's valuation is trash. A lot of the generated content seems to be from third-world countries, so the revenue per user is probably way worse than IG.

asdffsdf

Do you mean IG or IB? What ticker lets you see futures with the expected interest subtracted? I just usually just approximate from the next expiring future

mintz41

You can buy US govt bonds on the secondary market via IBKR I think, and there are plenty of ETFs on platforms like HL, ii, IG etc that you can buy. You also won't get 5% for 3 months, you'll get roughly 1.25%

Actually most girls and guys at the gym look like shit because their diet is shit. <Rant> They are lazy on the diet and sit at the machine on IG wasting my time as I actually try and workout but can't because they have the only set of 45 dumbbells and are busy liking pics of their friends dog.  </Rant over>

That's cool. My only social media usage is through a company that hasn't made a profit in about 19 years of existence, so I don't even know one makes money on IG or TikTok.

superhighiqguy89

IG is still a great way to find and communicate with birches

FredMc

Fuck it I love Reddit and the only regret Is my DCA. FB is all boomers commenting on AI generated posts, IG is basically just an ad service for OnlyFans and Twitter is just a bunch of shitty politically incorrect takes that aren't allowed on any other Social Media platform. TIkTok? 💯 Convinced its just a Chinese data farm to exploit the youth. Reddit is the last social media site left that's worth a damn and I'm not going anywhere. #copium

leowashisname-2

There’s an IG page called “mugshawtys” that shows attractive women that have been arrested. There’s this one girl who “allegedly” fired 40 gunshots into a home and a car in a domestic dispute. “Allegedly.” I can fix all of ‘em.

sunplaysbass

Facebook + IG peaked in like 2014 no? Tone of companies actually send meta money daily, it’s a good ad platform still. But it’s mature. How can it grow unless they do some big pivot.

Responsible-Exit4052

What’s her IG tho?

TightPerformance6447

Trading on IG trading. It is open after hours. Not sure why but it saved me

TightPerformance6447

Again, not sure what to tell you. On IG trading i was able to close off part of my trade. Ended up in profit so all good, got out just in time.

TightPerformance6447

Because I can? Trading on IG and the calls are open, i can close at any time

TinyYen

Ye IG so, thanks dude. But honestly do u think my comment at the top is right?

leowashisname-2

What’s the best “normal” shirt option. Some of this shit I see on IG is like 58 bucks for a white t-shirt which I don’t mind paying if it’s good but I also don’t want to get fucked over when it rips in three weeks.

Jeff__Skilling

So what you’re telling me is TSMs cash flow and risk profiles more likely mirror that of a debt instrument than equity, considering capacity constraints (eg growth is capped) and counterparies (guessing most are IG?)

stairattheceiling

Completely agree. I believe questions like this come from all those facebook/tiktok/IG financial "gurus" e-com? What product do you have to sell? Or what plan do you have to sell that product? Do you even have an audience? Do you know anything about marketing or advertising? Or how much any of the above costs? If you want to start a business, start small and start in SERVICE not product. Then offer the best service possible and it can naturally increase your customer base.

Hey, you should check out my ig. I featured in The Wall Street Journal and have made it my mission to help people for free.

Does anybody know somebody who actually regularly uses Truth Social? I don't mean just having an account, I mean actually checking it on a consistent basis the way people check FB/IG/etc. It must be such a weird place to hang out.

juzz88

With IG you can trade CFD options on indexes, commodities and FX outside of normal trading hours. Not on individual stocks though. So technically they would be S&P500 puts, not SPY puts, but effectively the same thing.

lolligaggins

Look into personal finance club on IG. They just launched a business called nectar in and charge flat fees for something like this. I think $150/hr

If I had a billion dollars and endless oil I would also probably pay IG models to sit there while I took a shit on them. Not as a sexual thing but because it’s hilarious. What else are you supposed to do to entertain yourself in a gold palace?

chi_guy8

It definitely goes to $0. Just a matter of when. This stock is a meme stock so obviously anything can happen for a while but fundamentally it should be about a $2 a share stock if it wasn’t captured in meme stock world. Fundamentals eventually catch up in meme stock world too. I wouldn’t feel comfortable betting it goes to $0 in 1 year but I’d bet my life it doesn’t exist in 5. I don’t think anyone actually thinks Trump has some sort of technological masterplan to compete with FB, X, TikTok, Snap, IG in social. Most people realize that was never the plan. The plan has always been an opportunity for a quick cash grab. It’s evident by how shitty the Truth Social platform is, with no improvements ever being made, overrun with bots and Trump barely pushes it other than just using it to make posts. It’s not a real product. It’s just being propped up by Trump temporarily because it’s where he communicates. Trump is an old man and has one singular goal at this point, recapture the White House. Every effort will be made to do just that. He knows he needs money. He needs money for legal and his campaign. A bird in hand is worth 2 in the bush. He’s not going to pass up the opportunity to cash in on this cash grab opportunity right in front of him that can help him get elected in favor of planning for the future of Truth Social. Further, Trump only has 7 million followers on Truth Social and he knows he knows he’s only speaking to the choir there. Before the election he’s going to need to get back behind his 90 million follower megaphone on Twitter. The ONLY thing Truth Social has going for it is Trumps “Truths” are posted there. The moment he goes back to using Twitter, it’s over. He’s not going to keep talking to only 7 million die hard followers at a time in the lead up to the election when he can speak to 90 million people who then share his message to the rest of the world. There’s no chance DJT doesn’t go to $0

I love the money guy show, they are great. Very easy to understand and learn from. They liked my story on IG when I shared a post lol.

Gohanto

In 10-20 years, Reddit could compete with Facebook and IG. They’ll make changes that’ll annoy users and it’ll cause lots of people to say they’re deleting the app, and then earnings will show almost no one actually left and that their ads made a lot more money after some changes. It won’t be fast, but i think it’s inevitable.

SeliciousSedicious

Real talk tho the Starbucks boycott is the dumbest most ill informed boycott since the Facebook boycott… where everyone just went and proudly used IG instead… which was and is also owned by META.
