Instagram blocking every metric of success unappreciation thread.

Whats the definition of engagement if Likes aren't included? Comments + Screen View Time?

Less people are using their personal accounts because they don't get enough likes for their pics. They want to bring back those users.

Everytime I see that Facebook logo on my i.g. I know it's over. That's the last social media I have.

Blocking likes, and now comment totals. If you got no business on instagram, you won't mind. If it is a platform where you do business, this is catastrophic.

First, if the algorithm takes LIKES into account for boosting a post, and they stop incentive's customers from hitting like, then overall engagement WILL fall because they don't see their personal impact of their actions.

This is a horrible game they are playing.

All those ig hoes better learn how to develop a social media platform

Poeple need to see what's going on with this as well as YouTubes policy changes, they are making it harder for the average Joe to come up. People need to stay in the economic classes they intend for them to be in.

You are stealing money from facebook by using their own proprietary technology to make coin for yourself

So its people with “business” accounts who cant see likes anymore?

If the OP was "shadow banned" his posts wouldn't show up when I search hashtags he uses in his posts.

This is one of the things I hate about so called social media entrepreneurs, as soon as their content isn't getting the same level of engagement as it did in the past, it has to be a grand conspiracy. You start to hear them talk about algorithms and shadow bans because it's not a claim they can back up with any evidence.

In fact, laypeople buy into these outrageous posts and echo the sentiment which can artificially inflate the engagement again.

no people are mad because their followers can't see their likes

YOU (account holder) can still see the likes on your account but now that there's is no like count for the general public how do people know how popular you are? How are you classified as an influencer?

Facebook is gutting I.G. trying to make advertising profitable they don't care about all these influencers who get direct dollars from brands. Now the brands can't see how YOUR engagement looks. Facebook hopping they will cut more checks with them than individual users.

Another trash take, if influencers want to do business with these companies then they need to do the work and put together a package that has a breakdown of their metrics illustrating why they're valuable.

IG has been very clear about why they want to test out hiding these metrics and it has nothing to do with killing off influencers or making advertising profitable.

It's not a take it's the reality you stupid c*nt

the brands were approaching people who were popping based on their likes and overall popularity of thier profile WHICH WAS PUBLICALLY VISIBLE and easy to gage. nobody was putting together presentations for sponsorships... I guess you missed the entire point

Again, this has nothing to do with IG hiding vanity metrics. If influencers want to be recognized by companies, they will have to do more work than waiting around to be noticed for having a lot of likes.

Stop quoting me

App was acting very funny today, so I understand where OP is coming from. Posted something this afternoon and the likes did not match the impressions. I know they’re never even, but the disparity was enough to make me go

I didn't get likes something must be going on







You're a lame swagless fakkit everywhere

Stop quoting me

Stop spreading specious disinformation.

Just say you missed the point it's ok breh



Brands are less likely to advertise directly with the consumer than the platform if they can't readily gage engangement where their products are placed via likes.

No disinformation.

If this is hard to comprehend you can go with the official story. Facebook really cares about the thousands of dead accounts that don't post anything anymore because they don't get enough likes. They want y'all back

 

[itsyoung!!]

Seems counter to why folks post on those sites to begin with.

Nah, the original app was to post your every day life, vacations, etc. it was fresh and most people were happy just to even hit 10 likes. Now people delete a lot of pictures if if doesnt blow up past expectations.

My personal theory is theyve fukked up their own algorithm so much this is the only semi fix to get people posting more and people being more active on it. By removing the 2 things people mentally use as their own metric to use the app or not.

How this effects business im curious as a business owner. But im overall happy for the changes.. if they ever come. See a lot of pump faking from instagram regarding these changes

The official story has nothing to do with dead accounts, it's almost like you're in here discussing something you don't know shyt about based on some half baked non-sensical theory.

The entire reason brands are gravitating towards influencers is because they are celebrity figures who have large followings that can engage with the influencers, advertising directly with the platform with models is not as effective. Even if IG's goal was to redirect those funds from influencers to IG, the brands would still pay influencers.

Your dumb ass argument hinges on "well how will they know who's an influencer if they can't see the number of likes they're getting"
