this shyt been known :mjlol: she's not bringing anything new to this conversation, she's bringing up regurgitated information to her birdbrain fans

BTW listen at 1.5 speed to avoid long ass pauses :manny:



Counterpoint though:

Have products that you can promote on your instagram other than just "ads". If you are selling a tangible product like a book (for example) you can still make a lot of money using IG as a cheap tool to drive customers to your product. You need to understand how leverage works. If you are completely reliant on one platform, then you are captive to their terms. It's not impossible to get followers and sell them a good product without anyone caring about "likes" specifically. Shyt, a beautiful woman could pay instagram $5 a day and get premium ads and have an "only fans" account where she charges $50 and generate more money then she's spending daily.

She's right. There are other ways that sponsors can measure engagement though.

for non celeb accounts, apparently it was a good indicator find good content ala the wisdom of the crowd.

These birds are losing it and I'm here for it.

You can still make money based on your exposure. As far as i can tell you will still be able to see your likes, you can show that to the folks you tryin to do side deals with.

Comparing taking away likes to telling mom and pop shops they can't do business on this block :mindblown:

Go hire a team of software developers and create your own platform then. Ofcourse instagram is in it to get a piece of the pie for maintaining their platform on which you are using for free.

Successful artists pay attention to every detail. Even ig stats. Their whole careers can be ended from a bad tweet. Or posting an ig story with the wrong person.

You right..

Mfers now really think IG real life..

Like this is a traditional way of making a living.
