Just keep it as a platform to share thoughts. It's an example of the irony in the quote 'capitalism breed innovation' because it does literally the opposite. Every big social media platform these days tries to undermine the competition by copying all their features. And in the end they all start to look the same, lose the unique qualities that made them interesting in the first place, and become cluttered and messy to use. The first time I noticed this happening is when Facebook tried to buy Snapchat and Snapchat refused. But Facebook had just bought Instagram, and so in retaliation they instead copied everything that Snapchat was to create stories. If you can't buy 'em, copy everything that have to spite 'em, I guess... The worst part is that it worked and Snapchat tanked after that for a long time and barely survived. Now look at Instagram, they made stories to undercut Snapchat, added a shopping tab because money, have more ads than ever before, the algorithm is brutal, and most recently they created reels to undercut TikTok. Facebook these days now has businesses, marketplace, stories, messenger, they stopped people embedding videos from any sites than their own, SO many ads, SO many push notifications. It's all capitalism. All for money money money I'll be myself until they fūcking close the coffin. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

littlepotter 76,616 Posted July 16, 2021 Share Posted July 16, 2021 That's because on Instagram it's mostly people you know and documenting your daily life while on Twitter it's mostly posting memes and interacting with strangers so there's no much use for stories. chaeri pls Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
