Instagram yields to criticism – Apparata

Instagram nevertheless succumbed to the fierce criticism that the app received after controversial timeline changes.

Instagram is being criticized after an update that makes the app look more and more like TikTok. Photos and videos suddenly fill the screen and actively pushed reels take the place of your friends’ updates. Earlier this week, Instagram CEO Adam Mosseri responded online. He put on a big pair of pants and said: big finger what our users think, we’ll keep it that way.

Not so. Say goodbye to your fullscreen photos and videos because Adam turned like a leaf on a tree in a few days. The fierce criticism is nevertheless heard and is nevertheless listened to. He says so in an interview with Platformer.

Kylie Jenner and Kim Kardashian

Apparently the pressure has become too great. A veritable storm of criticism has erupted online around Instagram. Influencers who made Insta big and who made it big themselves through Instagram spoke out. So are Kylie Jenner and sister Kim Kardashian.

Instagram succumbs to criticism

Yes, if users with 300 million followers get involved, you’d better choose eggs for your money. Especially if the user data also shows that Insta users are frustrated by the changes. The social medium has learned a lot from this, according to a self-reflexive Adam Mosseri to Platformer.

We now have to figure out how to proceed and come back with a new idea. I am satisfied with the risk we have taken. It’s good to fail every now and then.

So you see, protesting makes sense. Perhaps the Dutch farmers should also contact the Kardashians. Perhaps they can also motivate Twitter Prime Minister Mark Rutte to reverse a few changes.
