Wonder if they will ever spin it off as a public company? Seems like Facebook is on the way out and shareholders are going to want to double down on the future.
I have some adult friends spending 1 or 2 hours a day on Instagram. I can’t even imagine how much time millenials spend on it.

I wouldn't make the assumption that millenials spend significantly more than that on the app. It's certainly possible, I guess. But as I commute to work and back (hour by bus or train) - it's often 35+ aged people who have their eyes glued to instagram/facebook the entire length of the trip. EDIT: Data shows that you're probably right, and millenials spend more [time]( https://www.statista.com/statistics/267138/socia…
but why?
It has a loooot of users, and it's growing faster than any other social network. FB growth is staggering, but instagram is exploding. Instagram's innovation strategy is working out nicely > new features are launched, and are loved by it's users. On top of that they are now also focusing on SMBs (mostly in NBUs) with Whatsapp Business. (That branch could add >100M users)

It's exploding because apart from being a really good product, they made the UX super, super simple. With just enough little nuggets of complexity to make it feel whole.
Hell of an acquisition by Zuckerberg
I can remember how everybody was laughing about the acquisition: "Waaat? Billions for a chat app? hahaha" It's amazing how things are turning out.

Well, I think FB has probably lost 100B in value, and as someone who stopped using FB this year because I dont enjoy it anymore- I moved to instagram and twitter. Mind you, 100B for an app that is filled with bots and corporate accounts makes me think whoever did the valuation has never actually used IG.

Because people use it? There's 1 billion monthly active accounts. And can be advertised to.
I wouldn't be surprised to see Instagram go the way of Twitter once more attention starts being called to the number of bots on IG. One of the big "value propositions" for IG is the advertising potential through influencers, but go to any influencer profile and you'll see that a significant portion of their followers are just paid bots. The "1 billion active accounts" number smells fishy to me. I have a few friends t…
I saw a hot girl with 1M followers. So I decided to check out her website.
Website looked like a bland woocommerce store, no soul, just the girl selling pictures of her and underwear.
I went to alexa's Site Info and saw her website was ranked top 5 million or something poor. However, her rank in india was top 100k. The girl was not Indian, she had botted/paid so much that her fake traffic was visiting her website more than her real traffic.
I guess I'm thinking I should start botting? I already make an instagram 'like' bot on friday in 60 minutes.
