Any entity that knows so much about you can manipulate you in ways you won’t suspect. Their government isn’t held back by the Constitution and they probably wouldn’t hesitate to influence the citizenry of their main rival on the world stage.
For non-US citizens the US constitution also has no relevance. Thus for non-US citizens it makes no real difference

What's the purpose of your comment, may I ask? Tried to read few times but still couldn't grasp the idea, sorry
I took the point to be that it's all worthless. Instagram is dying? Nothing of value will be lost. Asking Gen Z about something? Nothing of value will be procured. Tiktok vs. Reels? Nothing of value are being compared.
Now ask the same question for YouTube shorts ;) Hah. Google is pushing shorts hard these days. Honestly, they need to give an option not to show shorts. In most cases, shorts are either from TikTok from the same content creator or re-uploaded by some random person. Even if I liked topic X on shorts, it never suggests similar shorts. It is hard to believe that Google cannot crack the correct algo to show interesting r…
I like that they asked actual users, and provided actual examples; it's something I've always felt off about Instagram's Reels vs TikTok. However the takeaway is that your TikTok feed is curated by hand by artisan robots vs Instagram is curated by lizards who only care about data. Both companies are completely data driven with some amazing engineers; but why is the Reels product boring, while TikTok is engaging has t…
As a millennial I can tell you exactly why TikTok is better: 1. The Reels algorithm is simplistic as fuck. I was scrolling through Instagram recently and a three reel “ad” came up. I accidentally tapped on the center one and it turned out to be a pimple popping video. Now every reel I see is that. No exceptions. I am sure if I actually watched more Reels I would get better content but that’s work. 2. Reels are often…
I keep seeing obviously reposted popular tiktok videos. The same ones, over and over again but with different accounts. Same on YouTube shorts.

I never thought YouTube would do something this idiotic and actually drive away their users, but here we are ...
Stop asking Gen Z for anything. Fuck me, I don't even know what a Gen Z is. Sounds like a CPU for all I care. A cheap one too. Instagram is dying ? No, I am dying. Lend a helping hand. Buy me an ice-cream. People are cognitive screwed from all this socalled social network bullshit that turns friends, family and idols into a circus of self-proclaimed everything. Kylie Jenner ? Really ? I can almost taste the sugary fe…
Pretty much every generation makes the same mistake you're making right now by writing off whatever the younger generation is focusing their time on. You can find quotes from 1000 years ago with the same exact sentiment as your comment. Every single time they were wrong.
Besides, everything is safe until it is not and research is increasingly pointing towards the toxicity of social media on the young mind.
Even doctors smoke a certain brand, remember?

Btw I have wondered for a long time why search on Facebook is such an atrocious mess. But then it struck me: it must be intentional, so you would spend more time scrolling feeds to find that one post you've missed. For this alone they deserve to be dethroned and forgotten.
Remember the ”dumb fscks” quote? Facebook was founded to be hostile towards its users.
Mark Zuckerberg : Yeah so if you ever need info about anyone at Harvard
MZ: Just ask.
MZ: I have over 4,000 emails, pictures, addresses, SNS
[Redacted Friend's Name]: What? How'd you manage that one?
MZ: People just submitted it.
MZ: I don't know why.
MZ: They "trust me"
MZ: Dumb fucks.
I actually still remember when my university was added to Facebook - I was studying/procrastinating for my final exams.
