Will it give me the option to only see stuff from people I follow? Because the worst part of Facebook and Instagram is not the ads but the content that is shown to me to keep me engaged. I want to scroll my friends pictures and when there are no new pictures I want the feed to stop. I'd pay for this even if am still shown targeted ads.
- octacat 3y agoOh, they want you on the app, so they would specially not show you stuff from friends, so you have to scroll more. If you know that there is no updates - it is not engaging.
- Gasp0de 3y agoBut if I pay for no ads, do they need me to engage? Their income is fixed to 14$/month no matter the amount of engagement. Actually, they save server costs if I engage less.
- octacat 3y agoThe amount of wasted time is a "great" metric for the investors :)
- Gasp0de 3y agoI don't think META is looking for investors. And for advertisers, only the wasted time of those who are shown ads is of interest.
- octacat 3y agoStock holders, fixed :) It is a pretty good metric of how the company is doing. I.e. if paying customers still spend a lot of time on the app, they would pay the next time. If the time decreases, there is a risk they would not prolong subscription.
- o10449366 3y agoThis is already a feature and has been for a long time. Instagram allows you to only see posts from people you follow and will tell you when you've seen all new content from the past X days.
- Gasp0de 3y agoReally? How can I enable that?
