No aint no replacement before you ask :martin:

crowd either just tired of using regular IG or so scattered between facebook, snapchat and IG that they arent equally active on 1 platform anymore.

We knew IG waa falling off when they replaced "most recent" picture formula with "most popular today" formula to make it seem IG was still as active by showing popular posts from your followers from that day on your timeline. what I mean is before it would show recent photos, no matter the likes or activity

example:
picture 1 posted picture 30 seconds ago
picture 2 posted picture 2 minutes ago
picture 3 posted 5 minutes ago

etc.

then they changed it to most popular for recent 24 hours last year

example:
picture 1 posted 15 hours ago (high activity of likes and comments)
picture 2 posted 8 minutes ago (high amount of activity in short period of time)
picture 3 posted 4 hours ago (same as above)

they did this so when you logged onto IG it would seem as/more active but really all it did was make the popular more popular and turn away people with only few followerers cause if they posted something rarely anyone would notice cause they picture wouldnt show on peoples time lines.

today they expanded that 24 hour period to 3 days :merchant: (could be more, thats the highest ive seen)

i follow 3200 people, mostly ages 21-35, active social (club goers/travelers) in populated California.. so if my time line dry as fukk that they gotta go back 3 days to make my timeline seem active , i know others users following less people timeline is worse

my timeline now looks like

picture 1 3 days ago
picture 2 37 minutes ago
picture 3 2 days ago

:what: why would i care bout someones shyt they posted on monday when its thursday :what:

shyt truly in its last days when you making changes like this :merchant:

Not surprised...instathots and simps killed it

At first it was all about creatives showing off their work and business people trying market and network. like usual untalented bottom feeders had to get some undeserved shine

You bought snapchat stock didnt u. Its ok breh we all make mistakes, u gotta take this hit tho no way around it.
no snapchat stock. did spend $11k on ads on facebook and instagram the past 12 months though :manny:

Damn breh. You really care huh?
well as a promotion company owner, yes, I really do care that the biggest social media platform i used to invite people out is rapidly dying off and with no replacement in sight

Long live IG breh
full



lol I feel ya tho. I don't like their decision to get rid of the OG timeline. That was GOAT shyt. Now I open the app and see nothing but IG models with 1000s of likes and none from locals smh. Actually stopped fukkin with it tbh

I don't think IG is dying though. Last I recall, they were getting a lot of traditional Snapchat users who use both SC and IG to post mainly on IG. I need to look at the daily/monthly active users data.
