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"
This pilot started in Canada a year before the states. You are late to the conversation.

Now you are talking in circles. Social media influencers are not typic celebrities... they are people with large followings and that's what attracts advertiser's. They want to place their products with people who get the most likes. These people are approached and vetted they don't apply for these endorsements.

Do you know any influencers? Look at their DM's and comments. Things are sent to em because of how popular aka liked they are. You just walked in a circle and still missed the point. :dead: likes are the currensy of fame on social media. Take your L like a man and walk away with dignity :mjgrin:

You always been a heavy hitter and I like your humility. OP is getting money now and he wanna be a cocky a$$hole around here every turn he gets. He forgot he used the Coli for content on his page and he was marketing hos products in here and we all supported him.

I just dont get why our fellow blacks change once they start seeing money. Smh

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 they've 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


Well besides these people who are trolling with no actual businesses, you can take it from me and other people who actually make considerable money via social media. This is a killer!

Let's be clear. Social pressure is one of the best driving forces to sales and growth PERIOD.

They are literally removing all forms of social pressure, making it now entirely on a micro level whether someone is convinced to support you.

It's like is TRUSTPILOT randomly decided "we are going to remove the actual number of 5 star reviews you have and instead replace it with "many people rated this 5 stars" instead of "36,000 people rated this five stars."

One will be critically important to the sales acquisition team while the other is superficial jargon that is vague at best and sounding like an outright lie at worst.

They also completely removed accounts that are not comedy or politics for explore. This means ALL pages that focus on anything else have stagnated catastrophically in the last year.


How that translates is I have "100k amount of audience in year 2. After a year and 20 MILLION impressions, I now at 103k audience in year 3."

To put that in better perspective. I was at 60k audience in year 1. After 12 million impressions in year 1, I now have an audience of 100k."


The growth and overall algorithm has been slowly being destroyed so people can't make any money or reach new customers without PAYING FACEBOOK.

Good stuff. I can get that in two months if I am trying. That is not including my facebook and youtube channel, or the 30k people on my mailing lists.

Listen guys, I am not trying to be an alarmists. I literally have done entire courses on independent publishing for free on youtube and made 260k last year selling fukking comic books. I am trying to warn you of a huge shift in the potential money you can make.

Last year I quit advertising on facebook wholesale because in April of last year, they killed their own advertising services by throttling organic engagement on an ad. Sales went from 30k in March to 12k in April with the exact same ad spend. After testing for months, I confirmed that facebook was officially fukked and went to instagram exclusively for paid ads. Now these fools are doing that.

change my ass. I been this way. I am one of the most honest creators out there and has dozens of hours of FREE INDEPENDENT PUBLISHING COURSES on youtube. I have given back so damn much it isn't even funny. Some people just hate when others succeed.

You are talking about my "attitude" and not about the TANGIBLE THINGS I am talking about.

There are dozens of black authors TODAY who would have never written their first book if not for the course I made earlier this year. All the courses were live, meaning I had to actually put my time on a schedule and answer 20 to 30 minutes of questions per class. I literally broke down my best performing ads so people don't get conned.

TANGIBLES. fukk an attitude.I thought this was the Coli where people had more spine than this. "he is not being nice when arguing :sadbron:"

I'm in the US and I still see likes and comment totals, including on OP's page. :manny:

my wife sees it too. It isn't hitting everyone but if it hits your account like it did mine, you will think the app is broken. "many people like this post." "thousands of people like this post."

You will be like :mindblown: how the fukk will someone be motivated by that?

I got caught in their initial roll out.

Look at my view. "and others."

There is over 1000 likes on that and it says "and others"

That is what EVERYONE will see in three months once they are done testing.

It could say "1145 people like this post." or "and others" lol. If you don't see the danger in that...

I went through this on BlackPlanet.com, they just outright banned myself and others positive black pages though

So they're right, there is always an agenda to push negativity.
