IG. Though they have told me a few times now that they can't fulfil due to market movements.

I know you guys are being sarcastic but I don't see how it isn't. Elon did this multiple times and at multiple companies and with multiple divisions. Did the same shit at Twitter where he fired a ton of people but ultimately had to beg for the engineers to return. This is literally what S&P500 companies do except they PAY "HR consulting firms" to do it for them. Elon just fires too many first and then grabs those that they need back. So it's """""""""""""bad""""""""""""" if you're some BS biz/econ major pencil pusher, BS pretty face HR, ass kisser or dick sucker, that PR/SocialMedia zoomie girl who posts on tiktok/IG about all the not-work she isn't doing, those many many talentless bums who leech off the work of actual employees, and/or the lazy bum who posts on reddit instead of working. But if you're the coding engineers at TWTR doing actual work? Or the supercharging team crew who actually does innovative/productive work? Then it's fucking GREAT. The leeches and parasites are removed. Sure some of the folks you liked are gone, but many more of those you didn't are gone too. And MOST IMPORTANTLY Elon gotta pay you. You get a rise and not a small one since if they are asking for you back you're getting a rise and a bonus.

Goddam IG is so bad. Why the fuck am I getting ads trying to normalize Trans hookups? It's not a fucking flex. So happy I sold my META

I’m Guyanese and my “wife” (still trying to get divorced I don’t want anything) is a Russian fucking super bomb. I’m on IG @POTUSNYC dig deep and you’ll see what I mean 

Tryna_get_money

A lot of the criticism WAS true, because I was a member myself during that time. I left and came back and it was noticeably better. The entire team has grown and matured. I left because I had learned enough to trade on my own. Then I started taking stupid trades and losing money. Not blowing up an account, but not growing it appropriately either. I'm going back as we speak. I typed the name Honey drip into Google to get to the website and this was the first thing that I saw, so I figured I'd come and give an update. If you're still hesitant, just follow them on IG first and get a feel before you join.

PyloPower

Meta is very reliant on IG & FB though. The risk is in the limited revenue diversification for them to generate that free cash.

Procepter

If I were you start trading on earning reports, goto earning whispers.com or follow there IG. If a big company is reporting and you think there gonna do good buy a call, bad buy a put. If you find yourself picking the wrong side all the time. Buy both the calls and puts. Hope this helps.

gatovision

Have you clicked one on FB or IG? Reddit gets more traffic in the US than FB, people said the same when FB ipo’d. Like i said, they need to improve their ads.

FallenGear

Reddit is for poor for people thinking their smarter than the chad Meta users. Like do you even IG?

gatovision

WSB loves to bitch about RDDT stock when we’re all using it daily? I use reddit 1-2 hours/day for prob past 10 years, I use IG maybe 20-30 mins, FB hardly ever. They just need to improve their ads without messing up the experience. , stock is a buy/hold imo, ill prob pick some up this week. valuation is cheap.

BHOmber

He's buying up all the Cookies-licensed assets in FL and rolling them into the Cookies corp. At least that's how I understood it from his IG post last week.

Flrg808

Seriously. There is a huuuge difference in targeted ads between Reddit and Facebook or IG. Those two show me things I actually want to buy and didn’t even know it. It’s actually a bit startling. Reddit is like “check out Amex platinum cards!” In the worst format possible. They should not be compared to other social media platforms right now.

CPMonkeyBoy

How will Google decision affect Meta? FB and IG only two of many social media platforms. I don't get it?

IG I think

PocaMadre69

Some chatter about yields opening on the floor over 5% in the morning - I didn’t realize they ever really closed. Lots to learn IG we’ll see in a few hours

Luna-tC

That’s true imo. As someone who much more prefers shorts to tok anyway. YouTube is your video provider pure and simple. However. If tok is banned IG will undoubtedly garner views/audience and could become very prominent. The Apple fail on vision is another victory for meta. Who knows. Maybe zuck will pull something out if his rear to revive his metaverse after all. I can see upside for meta from here in general.

LetMeInImTrynaCuck

Instagram and googles streaming products are completely inferior to Tik Tok and its algorithm. My guess is people consume the same amount on IG reels or whatever and just cut back. Nobody is going to be able to take Tik toks market share.

ear2win

IG index

PabloEstAmor

I think the same sentiment existed before tik tok. We had IG, FB, Twitter.

dbb69

There’s a huge maturity wall coming up within HY. Assuming rates don’t fall drastically this will lead to defaults (many issuers have already postponed refinancing last year due to high rates). Risk / return ratio is already categorically looking bad vs IG, but seems to be even worse now.

SZJX

Futures on stock market indices have long been tradable almost 24/7 lol ;e.g. via IG), just not in the US. Doesn’t mean the majority of the moves don’t still happen within US hours. Agree with your observation on crypto futures though (which is obvious to see as compared to US stocks). The point is that you have to draw a boundary for yourself, otherwise you’ll be spending your attention on it 24/7 indeed (still remember some days a couple of years ago when my attention was acutely on the market even while on a weekend trip for example).

Some absolute whale posted a “body positivity” reel on IG. Someone commented “don’t listen to the haters, you’re a queen.” And some dude replied “sized bed” 

JonathanVarietyFilms

I'm mean, despite it's popularity IG is quite lame. In 2024 the amount of bugs and technical limitations it still has is truly staggering. (No desktop video upload, no links in comments, severe aspect ratio restrictions, the list goes on)

gatovision

Saved the company, FB is dead. IG and youtube were the pickups of a lifetime.

Worldly_Repair1106

TBH, join honeydrip, it's a trading group I've been in for 2 years and if you literally just follow what the admins do on live in the morning, you'll easily start to recoup your losses. Only do 10% of your port on a trade and avg down only if admins do, bringing your trade size to 20% of your port (NEVER more than that). Also, get thinkorswim and trade from a computer so you can enter trades quickly and get in at same avgs as the admins. Wit hactive trader on thinkorswim, its so fast and easy to trade. Stop taking your own plays, you clearly are not good at trading yet. The admins in the group are right 80% of the time meaning if you control your size properly you will easily double this account every single month and get back to profitable trading within 6 months. DM me if you want info but its really easy to find, they have a big IG following and it's worth the $100 bucks or so a month.

swohio

To this day I still don't understand the point of IG. You upload pictures for people to like and comment, which you could already do on FB. And the comment section has an awful layout. Simply don't understand the point of it.

cocktails4

When did IG drop the mandatory square aspect ratio?

wilhelmshout

Meta is a good indicator of adspace selling and consumer sentiment (they own FB and IG) . Microsoft doesn’t sell ads so they’re guide doesn’t touch the end consumer in the same way

but_why_doh

Ad businesses across the board are starting to slow. There's only so many ads you can serve a person. The metaverse has proven to be not so great, as it's basically seen as a big joke for consumers. Maybe Ai is the future of the company, but it seems like management isn't really sure where to take this ship and is just riding the wave of whatever is popular at the time. The TikTok ban will definitely help, even if it ends up not going fully through/gets bought, simply because the uncertainty will push creators and advertisers towards IG. I just don't see the vision of this company and where they really want to be, which makes this tough to invest in.

Wesley0890

They are more than FB, IG is also them and I don’t remember but maybe Snap as well?

Sad_Chest1484

It’s only gotten better, that’s the point. IG used to be trash.

Opposite_Ostrich_905

There are a lot of directions an in app AI can go, just to list a few - User sees an ad and asks AI to find something similar but different in some way and AI provides some options and a link to buy them. Meta charges companies for click through. - A business user wants to share some news to its follower, think new item at a resultant IG page or independent fashion brand releasing a new line, asks AI to craft a post for them that will drive engagement. Meta charges these business accounts for such feature. - An influencer asks AI to fix up a photo of theirs to look better or remove some objects photobombing. Not sure how this can be monetized, maybe similar to the above and have a “pro version” account I think there’s value to be discovered for sure

Thisguymoot

Start making IG reels and become a 2nd rate TikTok creator you crybaby whores.

disgustingquart59

Meta AI is embedded into their products (WA, IG, FB). Think of ChatGPT + Perplexity native in the apps people already use. May not be as good, but it'll get there.

yolo24seven

Millennials and boomers use it. IG is also huge.

Sad_Chest1484

IG reels are highly addictive. Try going through them, they recommend what you like at a pretty good frequency. That’s the $$ in AI

TheYoungLung

IG/Facebook reels are trash. I know this is reddit so tiktok bad but the app can be genuinely informational and funny as hell. They have an amazing algorithm and they wont be easily replaced. If TikTok ever becomes a US listed company i would buy that stock in a heartbeat

tinderizeme20

gatovision

Who still uses FB? Ghost town. IG is still going strong but that’s all they have, if they didn’t buy it they’d be F’d. FB is still their main product, no way it’s doing good.

fannypackbuttsnack

Maybe Meta shouldn't have replaced FB and IG's search bar with a dumb fuckin AI assistant

Caesars_Palace321

I use IG.

vinniedamac

What I want to know is who even uses Whatsapp? I literally have like 8 messaging apps and none of them are WhatsApp.. signal, telegram, WeChat, discord, GroupMe, Snapchat, IG, messenger

vinniedamac

I would assume most TikTok users are already IG users tho

Fritzschmied

from the creater perspective i think youtube is the better alternative as IG because people can actually earn money for their content on youtube in comparison to IG from what I know. And people will go where their favourite creators are.

danfay222

Snapchat may still have the lead, but it is definitely slipping. Very few of my friends still use it, and for years it was basically the standard. It’s being replaced by either iMessage or messenger for messages, and instagram for basically everything else. Obviously the actual app use cases are anecdotal based on mine and my friends experiences. However the actual IG data is pretty telling, with significant upticks in usage among younger demographics (gen z and below)

xedops

snapchats version of "short form content" is the most brainrotted of them all I can strongly say they will not take much market share if tiktok gets banned in the department of short videos, young people use it to snap each other but not to watch the content, IG by far is the best alternative and will take a majority of the share

nastythrowawayacct

when is snapchat earnings? and do you really think tik tok ban will hype snap? if anything it’d boost meta since they own IG and instagram has their fake version of tik tok which pretty popular

RatherOakyAfterbirth

Actually on second look, seems like Snap is more likely to get more traffic. In terms of ranking by platform among Gen Z its: - Snapchat: 51.1% - Tiktok: 44.7% - IG: 33.7% - X: 32.6% - Reddit: 28.2% 

btctrader12

That’s absolute cope. Everyone still uses IG

RatherOakyAfterbirth

Not Gen Z. They mostly hate IG because it’s the millennial and gen X platform of choice.  I’ve been teaching this generation for years now, they absolutely shit on IG at any chance they get. 

btctrader12

Noone watches or sends YouTube shorts to others in conversations. People do that with IG though

RatherOakyAfterbirth

I’d say considering the Tiktok generation prefers YouTube over IG, I’d say youtube shorts are more likely to see an influx of new users from a Tiktok ban.

milandina_dogfort

IG reels is a direct COPY of tiktok you noober. And it fails. The reason why tiktok is popular is because it gives you waht you want to see.

larrylegend1990

IG reels are so dead compared to tiktok

deekaydubya

IG reels is the exact same thing and is massively popular

deekaydubya

Lmao well your anecdotes do not match reality I’m sorry to say. Both IG and FB are insanely popular

DOO_DOO_BAG

You should maybe check out the fidelity subreddit. The mods are actual Fidelity CS and are super active and helpful in there. I believe that’s the case on Facebook, IG and Reddit.

Shepherd0fSouls

Looks like I paperhanded my $800 of deep ITM Friday poots for like a gain of $20, but I don't trust $SPY to die before theta cucks me. Well, profit is profit IG lol. 

DepartmentTall4891

I agree. It's perplexing. Ndes cycle says he doubled down and went all in on robotaxi but why can't he synthesize the two? Buy a robotsxi for $25,000, drive it IG unwant to or just driverless Uber all day.

kolossal

Exactly, that's why you always see randoms on IG with stuff on their descriptions like "50k+ tik tok followers!". They can't seem to have their tik tok following follow them on other media.

MiddleChildVictory

This is a huge attack on freedom of speech as well as people's income. 7 million people run their businesses on TikTok and it's better than anything the US has ever created. It's owned by international investors and only 20% is Chinese investors. The US only makes up 2% of the user base, they have no reason to sell. The US is trying to enact a very dangerous legislation, trying to steal a company from private investors! Also we will ruin it, all good social media is ruined upon sale. IG was downgraded by FB, Elon tanked twitter, selling to people who aren't the original creators always makes it worse bc it's sole function becomes profit and we loose all function till it's bankrupt.

surebro2

Yup! You're right. I haven't seen Amazon floated (and I hadn't given it much thought). But Amazon would become what Elon wants Twitter to be (one stop shop app like they have in China). Amazon is good at messaging, so I'm sure they'll say, "unlike all of the other potential acquirers, we don't really compete in the social media space.... and TikTok is \*winks\* only a social media platform \*winks\*" lol Because that would implicate Microsoft, to the extent LinkedIn is in the same competitive space as IG, Twitter, FB. I personally don't trust that Amazon wouldn't try to go all in on integration (e.g., promoting Amazon product tiktoks with links), which would diminish the product. But I also don't use TikTok so I wouldn't be impacted haha

Kilo2Ton

here is a play related to all this - tiktok already said that they will now release an IG competitor in the US as a fuck you to META and rightfully so. PUTS on META and anything related to it.

Caesars_Palace321

I use IG

Cpt_Obvius

I’m not too sure we’re in the same era, as crazy as that sounds for a 7 year old platform. Influencers unfortunately hold a stronger grasp on a wider section of the public than they did in 2017. The “job” has evolved and become more sophisticated and structured (while simultaneously remaining an inane pox). Influencers are on multiple platforms and their followers are more invested in them now than they did 7 years ago. I think a near exact clone of tik tok would quickly transfer followers, with people staying in touch through IG in the interim. For sure, there will be a founder effect and this would shake up and some would lose their following, but I think it may be less than you would assume.

keasdenfall

I heard somewhere that it has access to all your photos and camera all the time, like even when you’re not using the app? Supposedly it takes pics through your camera every minute with the app closed? It seems so paranoid but also who’s to say Facebook IG etc aren’t also doing this?

Equivalent_Length719

Roflmao. No the fact you think the US government is stepping in for parents is a boldly unintelligent statement. It's purely for political gain because THEIR companies don't control the data it's literally as simple as that. It's EXTREMELY easy to block these sorts of apps if a parent actually wanted to. It's extremely easy for us to access another version of the app. Hell a third party version. Anyone whom actually understand tech would know this is a farce and a joke AT BEST. Oh yea let's let IG be top that's sooo much fucking better. Do you know how much porn is on IG? Jesus but for the kids right?

Quirky_Scratch_1755

> Jesus the crocodile tears. " THINK OF THE CHILDREN!" maybe their parents should be more apprised to what they do online instead of the US government banning the single largest public speaking platform that currently exists because they don't control it. The jokes write themselves. If you're being genuine, this is a serious unintelligent take. Parents are failing and the US gov is stepping in. Instagram/IG Reels will go back to being king

RDDTModsSuckDick

I thought the B100 and GB200s come out in Q4? Also, does "planning for those B100s" mean Meta has paused purchase of H100s? Reading IG for investment clues is better than Bloomberg. Motherfuckers on there are saying SMCI non-pre-announcement means NVDA won't meet expectations...even though SMCI is not a licensed NVDA partner.

bigedcactushead

This is China projecting. They know how they intend to use TikTok as a weapon against the U.S. and so they prevent the reverse by banning IG, FB, X, Twitter, Google and all the rest.

taizer4

IG Index does it in the UK

FlyPenFly

Commies: yeah, no we banned this harmful shit years ago along with IG, FB, YT, etc.

bipolarxpres

SPX showing 4985 right now for me on IG

bzl33

I understand why Twitter's valuation is trash. A lot of the generated content seems to be from third-world countries, so the revenue per user is probably way worse than IG.
