It depends on how the pivot to prioritizing video works out. I forget who, but one photography YouTuber mentioned good results from adding the occasional video to their Instagram feed. It also boosted their photos. Not good news for people who aren't equipped for or interested in doing video, but it might just work out for them. Especially if they can lure enough people way from YouTube. I'll quit watching someone before I follow them to Instagram, but I don't think I'm representative.
I don't. Many of my friends, who finally left Facebook, are very happy with Instagram. It feels like what Facebook was in 2010, people exchange their Instagram handles instead of phone numbers.
Do you have any kind of stats or even anecdotal evidence to your claim, other than you left ("early" in your own words)?
> Many of my friends, who finally left Facebook, are very happy with Instagram.
Counter-anecdata: Many of my friends are unhappy with Instagram because of the (randomly![1]) filtered timelines, intrusive ads[2], etc.
[1] e.g. I see different timelines on web vs iOS with the same account. It's bafflingly stupid. I just want a chronologically sorted list of post from everyone I follow.
[2] Checking just now, scrolled through 25 timeline entries - 7 of them are ads.
Are they leaving it? Did they identify a replacement they would rather use?
I didn't mean no one had criticisms, maybe "very happy" was an exaggeration. I'm just saying I don't see the exodus the GP thinks is imminent, even on a small scale.
