If there were any competency in this world, THE BEST CASE SCENARIO for Meta and the rest would be fucking dividend checks to everyone that uses the platform. The amount of data harvested from an average american house with a modern car, smart appliances and every kind of surveillance tool you could ask for, should yield enough that you shouldn't have to work another day in your fucking life.
I wonder when they'll start to charge "influencers" more to use the platform with extra "tools"and "features" to lure people in.
If you're that addicted to social media..
How to migrate away from all of them:
Step 1. sign up for free to Monett or Pixelfed instead of Instagram.
Step 2. Share with all of your friends and tell them to do the same.
Step 3. No need to start using it until you have a decent amount of people on the other platform to converse with and share dinner photos.
Step 4. Then once migrated, delete all remnants of your Instagram account.
rinse and repeat with:
- X (twitter) -> Mastodon
- Linkedin -> Xing
- Snapchat -> BeReal
- YouTube -> Peertube
- Facebook -> Friendica/MeWe/Diaspora
- Hubzilla
Dont they already charge influences for extra tools? I think the business accounts pay and get more features.
Yes, they artificially limit the reach of your posts, and then you pay them to get more exposure. You can also pay to have your posts more visible to particular demographics.
And of course that payment is on a sliding scale, and no amount of money is enough to reach all of your target audience, and it's also for a limited time window.
MOAR! (I didn't know that they already did charge them. But more is always an option in their vocabulary).
