Everyone is Copying π»
This week π¨π came out with a π update that added a π feature to their π± app: π¨π π₯. This is just another π£ that π¨π has taken in their move to become more like π» and Instagram. First it started with π¨π adapting their π¬ app to be more like π» with the option of adding stickers and βοΈ over πΌοΈ. Now, the latest edition of this evolution has made its way to the main π¨π site, however, this new π¨π π₯ feature is receiving π«π reaction that it π for. π« only areπΆπΆπΆ expressing their π opinions in person, but also through π¦.
If you take a scroll through π¦ and search βπ¨π π₯β you will find a lot of π, memes, and π¨ββοΈmental π¬ stating people will unπ― someone if they use π¨π π₯. Overall, most reactions range from π, π€, π, π, π·, and π‘. π« a π reception.
Personally, I π« like the π‘ of π¨π π₯. I never even liked the π‘ of Instagram π₯ and live feeds, which they copied from π¨π. Even though conceptually it all is the same π‘, I feel most exposed on π¨π so I would never post a π₯ to my page. Maybe thatβs because I have the most connections on π¨π, some of which are π¨βπ©βπ§βπ§ members that I would π« want π the more personal side of my life. That could be the reason πΆπΆπΆ π«β€οΈ π¨π π₯ because they feel more exposed.
Another reason πΆπΆπΆ might π«β€οΈ this new π‘ is because these social media platforms are no longer unique; theyβre all the same. So the β is, why are they π¨οΈing each other? Why allow themselves to merge into practically the same social media source? Isnβt the point of π out competition to be unique and π΅π΅π΅? I know that at some point when one company finds a π method, other companies will soon follow in a similar βοΈ. For example, Samsung and π β π produces the π± Air2οΈβ£, Samsung creates the π±Galaxy Tab S2οΈβ£ β but they each retain elements of their individual brands. π¨π and Instagram donβt seem to fit the π» model of live/π₯ posts as well; their updates just seem π¬ and donβt fit their unique brands. So the β is where is all this headed? Are these 3οΈβ£ platforms going to merge and become one giant social media source? I guess only β³ will tell.
