Instagram blocking every metric of success unappreciation thread.

[Matt504]

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. likes are the currensy of fame on social media. Take your L like a man and walk away with dignity

Again, you're not making sense here, influencers have large followings, hiding metrics does not change that fact, companies will continue to do business with them. Your argument hinges on "how will companies know who's popular" which is at best, a silly argument.

I check profiles all the time to see their engagement rate and the best metrics is total comments and total likes. Their follower count means absolutely nothing. So many "influencers" buy followers but can't get more then 20 comments on average with a million followers. Now it is going to be even harder to tell who really is an influencer and who simply has a lot of followers.

nikka i probably have the biggest instagram account on this platform. Who the fukk are you little boy.

Stay humble .

Stop bragging it's bad for business.

fukked up cause after looking at your Instagram and seeing you made some Black comics it made me want to give it a shot cause I like comics and support Black business...


...but yo stank ass attitude in this thread got me not giving two shyts

yeah that was a bad look.


Homie might’ve just been having a bad day

He doesn't want to hear it.

companies don't want to request numbers to see engagement.

That's BS. Followers mean a whole lot. If you have 50k followers and averaging about 50 comments per post, your page is phoney. I almost got scammed by fake ass influencers like that. How you have 400k followers but only 100 comments per post ? That means you don't really have a following

You've already demonstrated to us that you aren't the best at drawing conclusions based on what you're seeing by suggesting you were "shadow banned" which means any time you tag posts, users shouldn't be able to search that tag and see your posts. I looked up the #ados hashtag and ironically, your post about being shadow banned popped up.

Again, influencers that want to work with brands will have to work a little harder but being an influencer is their "job" so it's not really an absurd ask.

What's likely happening in your case is your content isn't as attractive as you think it is and you're judging what your future metrics should be based on past content. There is no conspiracy to hide your content, the problem is the content creator, you.

followers mean absolutely nothing. @theblurdgirl or whatever her name is only has like 30k followers on any platform yet she is HIRED CONSTANTLY by conventions to promote their celebrities and do interviews. Why? Engagement and influence.

Some of these micro influencers can get more done than people with hundreds of thousands but you wouldn't know if you couldnt check their engagement without literally requesting it.

You're making grand assumptions about why she's getting work and not factoring the more likely reasons, like the possibility that she has connection with a network that can put her in position with brands and having content and an aesthetic that is in line with what the brands are seeking in an influencer.

Once upon a time, before the "shadow ban", you had better engagement, can you show us an example of how many brands have reached out to you so they can have you advertise their products?

If IG wanted to box influencers out, they could simple hide all of the vanity metrics including things like comment count but they're only focusing on likes, something that the content creator still has access to and they've explained their reasons why. The root counterargument you guys have is basically, "how will brands know who's popular" which is a silly argument. It's even sillier to believe that brands aren't doing more leg work than looking at a combination of vanity metrics to decide who they'll pay to advertise their products.

 

[Cynic]

Be smart and hold, never take funds from the outside

You gotta buy into the vision for it to work


If the brehs running it only care about getting rich just to blow money in London, yeah you’re right we’re fukked

But I’m hoping some of us have near clairvoyance, we been thru this simulation too many times

How do you intend to hire engineers without vc capital ?

You think she getting work because of followers ? Not beacause she has great network and good agents?

I don't advertise for brands because i have intellectual properties. Nevertheless I am an influncer. Many of MY artists have gained thousands of followers from me simply promoting them. Monarchs Comic! (@monarchscomic) • Instagram photos and videos being one of them.

you can ask many of the biggest comic publishers in the black community how I been acting over the years. I promote people for free when they need it, like during their kickstarters and shyt. Just like conventions, you can do fan art and milk other brands or you can take the long road and make your brand hot. Whichever path you take, you can't pivot out of it later. I know people who have millions of followers on youtube and can't get 50k views on their indie projects but 4 million on Naruto.

Awwww

It should be a no brainer that you need capital

If you want check my past posts of me saying six cert motherfukkers should put their money into paying black engineers as a defense against racist AI. I’ve explained too many times

We’ve shown that when we take outside money, we c00n for outsiders. We can’t handle it

 

[Saysumthinfunnymike]

I've seen this explained in a variety of different ways, I'll try one more time.

You might not be able to see how many likes are on a post because maybe you are in an area where that is now implemented. In many areas IG has not changed at all and the like counts are still there for everyone.
