It wasn't IG worthy

Serious_Tree31

I’m 36 not married and have a 4 yr old daughter . Her father and I are together but keep our finances separate . I am a server making less than 40k a year and just started my Roth IRA at the end of last year . My “knowledge” of investing comes from you tube , instagram and asking google. Attaching a pic of my current Roth investment for the 2026 Question 1 : any suggestions to add or remove any of these ETFs ? I started messing around and paper trading on Webull last November also . Options and futures for the most part. Obviously I don’t have experience needed to try and get funded by a prop firm . I follow some investment guys on IG that almost feel honest, legit and like they want to help others make money like they have. However, I’m obviously hesitant to pay them any of the little money I have to spare …. Which brings me to question 2 : Are any of the guys promoting their courses ( where you trade along side them ) not a total scam ? For more context my daughter dad makes SIGNIFICANTLY more money than I do - but I would like to have some type of retirement fund built up so when I’m 70 and can no longer work - I’m self sufficient whether or not my daughters dad and I are together .

Why can’t meta just stop spending on AI and just enjoy the free money from IG ads?

Lower_Skin_3683

hate the IG hype i hope all stores close their doors

iamjt

Dow, nasdaq and s&p are more than 60% short on IG We are still bullish 😂

stocker0504

They did leave.... to IG. Imagine if IG was not owned by Meta as well... Downvote all you want but its true.

OrdinaryMix4013

AI is so advanced i cant tell if this girls vagine on IG is real or not.

MizterPoopie

I’ve followed Curry’s IG and YouTube channels for a couple years. He’s a pretty good director. It will be pretty cool to see what he does next.

_ThisDickAintFree_

Holy shit I just saw an ad for Koss on IG. Brought back memories. Had to report back to you guys.

Lower_Skin_3683

i am not a bot. reddit is the last safe space. fuck u IG and Linkedin i also do not invest in any of these stocks

ChefGuybrush

depends on platform. I use IG for my spread betting, and use etoro for moonshotting/lottery style bids. 212 will allow you thru weekends mate

rodeBaksteen

Not sure what the price will be, but ever since they added a mandatory like 3-5 second pause om every reel add on IG I'm getting tempted.

iamjt

IG s&p futes are 57% short lol

caydesramen

Alot of bad shit. Their AI sucks, their hardware sales suck, FB sucks. IG is about all that's left.

thepyrocrackter

It's a trip people still use FB or IG. Deleted that shit years ago.

ScottyWestside

I won’t upload a picture with my face on IG after the admitted they use your face to train AI

tiny_toof

When is IG premium gonna start. I need to know for stock purposes and totally not bc I stalk my ex

VariationAgreeable29

lol I hate the fact that I’m on IG everyday as it is. I’m not paying for the destruction of my self esteem lolol

Excellent_Cherry_799

Well I already deactivated my IG this week and it feels liberating. I would do the same w facebook, but 1) I never use facebook, and 2) I'm afraid deactivating facebook might lock me out of other accounts tied to it like OfferUp.

Spiritual-Young-7840

I already deleted IG, guess I’ll go ahead and axe FB.

UWMN

Fuck all that. Glad I never use FB and IG. More money for me to YOLO in this casino

dwoj206

Been waiting for SNOW to go on a run. deserves it. CRSR yeah... that'll be a massive pivot for them if their little AI workstations can take off. I started seeing those Ads on my IG a couple weeks ago. can't believe I didnt see the writing on the wall.

ThetaFarmingRegard

you like one hot girl’s pic in a bikini and now the entire IG feed is full of AI softcore porn internet is dead man

Lower_Skin_3683

I regret ever downloaded that app in 2017 all because some clown preferred to communicate that way. same reason for IG download in 2021 don't even need an influencer to influence you. it's your damn family and social circle fuck all ya'll I want all my hours of stupid ass reels and posts bag you asshats

Lower_Skin_3683

i deactivated IG. It took me forever to try and unfollow people. Even businesses I use. I was getting notifications that these businesses had posted 40+ stories and posts. I mean I guess they are trying to get new clients but damn I was had to shut that shit down because too time consuming to look at everything, like and comment. I uninstalled FB. I haven’t been on Whatsapp since last year. I don't see where I'm missing out.

Working_Monitor_2076

I already barely use IG since they introduced an advertisement pause after scrolling once. It is basically a reminder to close the app. I deleted Facebook in 2010 and will only use signal as a messenger. I still have whatsapp since a few of my friends did not want to switch to signal.

NoctRob

I stopped FB and IG when I had my first kid. Giving up WhatsApp would be slightly more difficult. If only there was another messaging service available globally…

Blackhawk149

Wait so have to pay to use Facebook? Lol guess I won’t be using FB or IG

btoned

So Facebook+ and IG+ remove ads right? Right? 🥴

zurijer

Now you can pay to subscribe to FB, IG and Whatsapp. You telling me AI is not a bubble? LMAO Zuck is trying to squeeze money wherever the fuck he can cause GPUs expensive af.

Lower_Skin_3683

i hate it. I uninstalled it and deactivated IG F a $3.99 a month subscription plan for each SM app. greedy zuck

Lower_Skin_3683

I deactivated IG. I'm never on FB. Last time I used Whatsapp was September. We don't want anymore SM. F $3.99 subscription services, threads, metaverse, forum

Last_Activity9855

Zucc hitting the gym on IG. That’s a buy signal lowkey.

Lower_Skin_3683

i deactivated IG. FB is ded never downloaded tackytok forum f nah

InterstellarReddit

Bro that’s the IG thinking from the fake ass people on IG selling courses. I saw one this morning where this Claude prompt got me $150,000 in three months. The prompt was the most basic shit I’ve ever seen in my life. It said find me an opportunity, to monetize this market and this niche. I’ve seen my cat type better prompts by mistake on my keyboard than this one and people are advertising it as $150,000 prompt

Lower_Skin_3683

I deactivated IG. I hate threads and F forum

KingHortonx

Hm feel like it was harder back 8 years ago or so, but IG the csgo gambling phase probably propped up site like that huh

_healthysociety

IG is apparently worth 100 billion tops and has 3 times the users. Reddit has 1 third of the users and is 1 third the value. I want to buy RDDT but I don't see the huge upside or any for that matter

FatFluffyFish

They are going to the moon. [https://www.tradingview.com/chart/Wcc5bSv5/?symbol=CME\_MINI%3AES1%21](https://www.tradingview.com/chart/Wcc5bSv5/?symbol=CME_MINI%3AES1%21) I think some others check IG too.

Google IG weekend tech 100

Alwaysfavoriteasian

I moved away from it years ago for rddt. Super addicted to rddt but recently made some new friends who pushed me back into IG. It's changed a ton! With that change, I find myself watching reel after reel of just nothing content and a little less on rddt because - I have to read.

Wirzech

$IG6 had a trading halt still ongoing... this is being linked to a MoU partnership with Alkeemia (51/49 or 60/40 is what I'm guessing) which could be a big catalyst for the stock price. If everything goes according to expectations IG6 will more than doubled their production while having a stronger presence in Europe. Very small-cap stock with high potential so as always... Not financial advice, do your own research.

Red_Zone_Broly

#Weekend Silver on IG up 3% CEO of Silver seems to believe these peace talks...

BIitz

IG has more active users than TikTok, and WhatsApp is huge internationally. In 20 years, the game will look a lot different, too.

TickTockTaudit

Search “IG weekend oil” and “IG weekend tech” You don’t need hyper liquid

wee_dram

Huh.. so I can trade NASDAQ futures on IG on a Saturday? IDK, sounds questionable..

Consistent_Panda5891

You can trade weekend futures on IG tho.. just Google it, it is not standard futures with calls and puts, just buying pre-futures directly on index

zxc123zxc123

To be fair Facebook Groups was never going to actually compete with Reddit either because even the people overlap Reddit and Facebook won't Reddit with Facebook. Just like how IG Reels was never going to kill Tiktok and ends up a feature of IG rather than a true competitor in the short-form-video space where TT holds the crown but YT has the 2nd spot plus a double moat of long+short form integration.

Impressive_Trick_573

IG. It’s a CFD- just some degens gambling on where futures will open. No volume so it typically retraces, but it’s something to watch

LarryStink

Its not something to use beyond viewing. But its live markets and prices 99% accuracy to futures openings unlike weekend IG

Synergiex

Why do it through FB instead of instagram? Barely 35+ people use it once in a while and most posts are just a cross post from IG

infraa_

The risk with equities over the next couple years, is high (wouldn’t personally look there). But you could lock in 4.25% on a 5-yr treasury and yes, you’d have positive carry. IG is yielding another +80bps. Wouldn’t touch it personally, given that we’re late cycle, but HYG (high yield corporate debt) is 5.85%

Lower_Skin_3683

I created a threads account and haven’t been on it since deactivated IG zuck is an idiot

Flick_W_McWalliam

Meta’s Threads numbers are a parlor trick that nobody believes: They insert Threads into IG. That’s not engagement, that’s not a Threads user, it’s just somebody scrolling past it on IG. A far cry from FB’s move of copying Twitter with News Feed in 2009, just as Twitter was gaining market share with a very desirable demographic. Meta has a continuing problem, although obviously with their current high revenue & stock price, it’s a problem a lot of companies would love to have. But there’s just no way back to the engagement and user numbers of the past, and padding it with AI and billions of third-world users can’t change that fact. The days of Facebook being able to throw “Farmville” or a Twitter copy at the masses has passed. Everything they’ve added after \*Instagram\* has been a flop. “Meta” itself, the stupid name they chose for their completely failed VR slop world, is the shining example of that. Their Reddit copy may initially attract some of the tens of millions who’ve been banned from (or just quit) Reddit for not being leftist extremists, but most people have moved off of public forums altogether. That time is over. It’s not worth losing your job over having the wrong opinion about a movie star or whatever.

lucellent

Success? Yes. Invent? No. They only blatantly copy existing apps/features and somehow they become the most popular versions living inside the main apps like IG or FB

DenseComparison5653

I think people here are underestimating the power of their advertising pressure, for example threads has 400 million monthly active users. They're constantly sucking in people from IG and FB.

mankee81

IG keeps sending me follow suggestions based on who my older relatives have added and God I wish didn't have to see those

Fragrant-Mix-4774

You asked for the mechanism, the timeline, the trigger, the dominoes. Fine. But before any of that: you wrote the bear case yourself in point 3 and didn't notice. You disproved your own thesis with the dotcom line. Your whole post reduces to "the tech is real and the revenue is real, therefore the equity is safe." That experiment has already been run. Your own example is the result. You cite the internet surviving 2000 as your trump card. Cisco was your bull case. Not Pets.com, not a burn story. The picks-and-shovels vendor with real demand, real customers, real profits. Revenue grew from about $19B in 2000 to roughly $52B. Net income recovered past its 1999 peak by 2003. And the stock still fell 88%, from about $79 to $9.50, took roughly 20 years to recover on a total-return basis, and did not reclaim its March 2000 price high until December 10, 2025 — over 25 years later, and only then on AI hyperscaler demand. Still underwater in real terms. Someone who bought the single most "they came, paid, and are asking for more" company of that cycle waited a quarter century to break even nominally. Being right about the technology and being a wealth-destroying investment are not mutually exclusive. Historically they are the same event. "The internet survived 2000" is not your rebuttal. It is the thesis you're asking me to deliver. You only argued against the dumbest bear in the room. You spent your ammo on Pets.com and Webvan. Nobody serious is running that analogy. The one that maps is the telecom/fiber/3G bust: vendor financing, capacity built ahead of demand, then a financing freeze. When the money stopped, levered carriers went bankrupt and bondholders recovered ~20 cents. You never touch this, because it's the one historical case that actually fits, so you fought a sock puppet instead. Now the mechanism you say nobody has. It's not my homework. It's published. 1. "Nvidia smashes earnings on real workloads." A large slice of that demand is the loop paying itself. Nvidia is investing up to ~$100B into OpenAI; OpenAI spends it on data centers full of Nvidia chips. Oracle–OpenAI is the same structure. Microsoft and Amazon "invest" in OpenAI/Anthropic partly via cloud credits redeemable nowhere else. Man Group's "The AI Bubble" paper calls it a closed recursive loop: revenue looks spectacular because each node pays the next, and one firm slowing investment drops revenue across the whole cluster. Nvidia's GAAP number is real. That doesn't make the demand exogenous, and circular vendor financing magnifying losses on the way down is the exact telecom failure mode you skipped. 2. "They came, paid, and are asking for more." 2026 hyperscaler capex is roughly $660–690B against about $51B in direct AI revenue. A 10:1 ratio. Cloud at the same adoption stage in 2011 was 2.4:1. Capex now eats ~94% of hyperscaler operating cash flow after buybacks — basically no buffer. Bain's Global Technology Report: the sector needs ~$2T in new annual revenue by 2030 and, even after AI savings, comes up ~$800B short. Sequoia's David Cahn flagged the same gap structurally before that. They came and they're using it. Willingness to pay is not scaling anywhere near the bill. That's the only metric your "money is already here" claim depends on. 3. "Productivity is in the numbers." MIT's GenAI Divide study: $30–40B in enterprise spend, 95% of organizations with no measurable P&L impact, only 5% extracting real value, and a pipeline where 60% evaluate enterprise tools, 20% pilot, 5% reach production. That study has fair methodology criticism (small interview base), so don't lean on it alone — but Bain, Sequoia, and Man Group reach the monetization-lag conclusion independently. Your "tell that to every Fortune 500 in pilot-to-production" is backwards. The collapse from pilot to production is the documented failure, not evidence of runway. 4. The earnings you call bedrock are partly an accounting choice. Per Burry's November 2025 work, hyperscalers roughly doubled the assumed useful life of AI hardware (Meta ~3 → ~5.5 yrs, Google ~3 → 6) while running a 2–3 year chip cycle. That understates depreciation by ~$176B across 2026–2028 and, on his math, overstates Oracle and Meta operating income by ~27% and ~21%. The 10-Ks confirm the trend; Amazon already cut to a 5-year schedule in 2025 citing AI pace. There's a real counter (Nvidia says six-year-old A100s still run at full utilization), so it's contested, not settled. But "earnings prove it's real" can't stand when a 20%+ slice of those earnings rides on a depreciation assumption the hardware makers themselves are walking back. "No one has a credible pop thesis" — the market already ran the demo. Oracle fell 42% from its September high and shed roughly $80B of market cap in a single session after a revenue miss plus a capex hike. That is the mechanism executed in miniature, on tape, while you were typing that it doesn't exist. Scale it: about five names are ~30% of the S&P 500, and AI has driven roughly 75% of S&P returns, 80% of earnings growth, and 90% of capex growth since late 2022. A repricing is not sector-contained by construction. The dominoes you asked for, in order: Capex plateaus (not collapses) at one large hyperscaler, or one earnings season shows the 10:1 gap widening instead of narrowing. Reflexive demand: the loop pays itself, so one node cutting orders mechanically drops revenue across the cluster (OpenAI drives MSFT spend, MSFT drives Nvidia orders, Nvidia drives SPV buildouts). The depreciation clock fires regardless of narrative — understated depreciation becomes a visible earnings cut on a fixed schedule. Undiversified nodes break first: OpenAI projects ~$14B in losses in 2026 and on some reports runs low on cash by mid-2027; CoreWeave-type neoclouds have no profit engine to absorb a demand dip. Private-credit and SPV vehicles take NAV writedowns, initially masked by make-whole clauses — same script as the fiber bust. Tech IG spreads are already widening. Index concentration transmits all of it into everyone's 401(k). The trigger date is unknowable in advance. That is true of every bubble in history. It is not a defect in the bear case — it is the defining property of the phenomenon. You made a precise timestamp the price of admission, demanded the one thing the entire historical record says cannot be supplied, and you're treating its absence as proof. You're not here for the counter-DD. Someone here for the counter-DD engages Man Group, Bain, Sequoia, Burry, and the Oracle tape. You engaged Pets.com. You didn't build an open question. You built one engineered so it can't be answered — and then answered the bear side yourself in paragraph three.

It’s fake data on IG website. Just some polymarket stuff and betting. It has nothing to do with real futes.

So its a no from you. Thanks, I'm scared of the same thing but didn't it happen to IG or any other social media? You are bombarded with ads plus the P/E for a tech/ media firm isn't that high. Trying to wrap my head around it.

howtoretireby40

nah, xanga between myspace and facebook lol But yes, reddit will have to evolve with the times however, Spez made a brief comment about the timelessness of reddit a while ago and I kind of agree. Reddit wasnt like old school traditional news 20 years ago, it wasn't like social media/FB 10 years ago, and it's not like IG/tiktok now either.

iloverunning11

Reddit DAU and MAU growing rapidly, ARPU as well but it's nowhere near FB, this is the only large social platform with a relatively small number of bots and where ads are not shady (or even outright scams like FB, IG, YT to some extend too) Reddit SP has been climbing steadily, they absolutely destoyed their last est. EPS (50% surprise when est. was already above $0.5 is mind-blowing). I am curious, how much money have you lost so far by shorting this (SP is significantly higher since your post)

Puzzleheaded-Fly-658

AMD is 150sh and I am so bullish on the future of the company. Earnings are different than Reddit but percentages they look good. Plus I like the reasons from OP. I dont use IG and tiktok as much since I got into reddit a few months back.

gatovision

What i wonder How much time are people really spending on ai apps on their phones? They get subscription rev but most popular apps are free so To sell ads you need eyeballs on the screen. Avg time on phones in the US is like 4-6 hrs a day, mostly on news, IG, FB, video streamers reddit, video games, etc so where is the extra time for ai apps to sell ads? most people seem to use them like utilities, do this task, ok thanks, 5-10 mins and done. Some weirdos probably talk to them all the time and share all their private thoughts so they can sell ads to them i guess? idk whole thing is weird

Juhyo

Don’t underestimate a company with tens to hundreds of billions of dollars to pivot with. FB isn’t in vogue, and IG is losing market share to TikTok, but it’s still a revenue giant as a lot of folks 30-50 are still actively using it for business purposes (the demographic with expendable income). Winds will shift, but so too can Meta. They’re hyper aware that they’re unpopular and losing ground. You can bet they spend many millions figuring out how to increase shareholder value lmao.
