Plenty of adverts here, but they're not too obnoxious yet.
Instagram advertising is a straightforward option when making Facebook adverts and sponsored/boosted posts nowadays. Tried it once so far as an experiment, but Instagram still works well organically, so we haven't found the need yet.

Today's snap is tomorrow's Instagram post.
― Any Given User (Eazy), Thursday, 30 June 2016 16:03 (eight years ago) link
I think the bigger scale of Snapchat's images doesn't get noted enough. A snap photo has to be cropped to fit on Instagram, Twitter, Facebook, and so on, keeping a Snap photo from being interchangeable on other platforms.
― Any Given User (Eazy), Thursday, 30 June 2016 16:04 (eight years ago) link
the number of photos shared on average by each Instagram user fell
Weird wording there. When I think of "share", I think of what you do on Facebook with someone else's content or retweeting something on Twitter.
People "post" their photos on Instagram, and I get the idea what the writer is saying. There's a share button, but I rarely, rarely ever see it used by anyone.

Anyone know if you can upload to instagram from your laptop? I've found a few software packages on google but thought I'd check if any of you have used them first.

The new non-chronologic algorithm combined with an explosion of ads in my feed (every 2-3 pix?) pretty much turned me off of IG.
― Jersey Al (Albert R. Broccoli), Sunday, 3 July 2016 01:45 (eight years ago) link
I usually scroll down until I hit one that I've already seen.
So now with the new algorithm, I hardly spend any time at all on Instagram!

That article also links to an article saying that facebook users have been sharing less of their personal lives, which is an interesting development that accords with my observations -- people have gotten a lot more selective inasmuch as there's no longer any novelty to just saying whatever the fuck you're doing/eating/thinking right now.

instagram is gd imo. like it is something you read when you are in a queue to access memes + screenshotted details of interesting internet information + then just cool world glimpses. abbott wrote something in another thread abt the virtue of smartphones being how you can foto the weird shit that stumbles into yr view while you are out of the house, + instagram is the repository for this at the moment i think.
i get kinda hazy abt [platform] is dying !!! hysteria bc it is like ... like websites are dying ... which they are .. but also they are not ... meaningfully dying ... i can read a website ... lots of websites ... instagram is fine ... it's fine. you know

i finally get instagram. it's so much less pressure than twitter and even facebook. there's very little talking! no need to craft a joke! you just look! and like! that's it! but i now am connecting with friends that i never connected with before on FB or tworter. yes tworter.

Instagram suggestions are the worst - I follow one friend who's a local MMA fighter, so the suggestions are non-stop UFC and wrestling memes.Then I guess I know some vegans because today it was all horrifying PETA ad stuff with people shooting animals for fur and dead lambs. WTF.

i tried FaceApp after seeing all my friends do some crazy stuff w it on instagram. it's pretty wild. you have to pay to get a lot of the options, but you can still generate Smiling, Young, Old, Male, Female versions of faces. it's pretty spooky. lol i did the old one and i think it was too realistic looking it was scary lol.
it is pretty remarkable how well the algorithm does its job imo so far everything looks very seamless and it is supremely creepy to see an app photoshop a almost-perfect smile onto your face in 15 seconds. fun app if you like cyber divining.

when i ran the "old" filter on me i thought it was showing me a picture of my dad it had found somewhere on my phone. terrifying.

Instagram Stories rules. like a tv channel run by your friends. the silly filters are awesome and easy to use. and very impressive! it can do motion tracking on any human face (ive not been able to get this to work on my cat, which i hope they are working on rn) including if you are watching tv. i used it on Twin Peaks

I hate instagram stories because everyone that I loved to follow on snapchat switched over and uses instagram now. Mixed in with all the other people I follow on instagram who I have no desire to see their stories.

i guess they are forcing a choiceyou either have to follow someone or not
at least it makes unfollowing less fraught because it happens more often
