Episode notes

I think instagram is just so big and has such a strong history of like being part of this creator economy that it's never going to completely hemorrhage It's main users or anything like that. I do think that people maybe spend less time there and more time on you know more interesting more niche apps A lot of the newer apps that have been kind of buzzy lately have nothing to do with getting famous.

If you think Instagram sucks now, it’s by design. Vox's Rebecca Jennings and Platformer's Casey Newton explain.

This episode was produced by Victoria Dominguez, edited by Matt Collette, fact-checked by Hady Mawajdeh and Laura Bullard, engineered by Efim Shapiro, and hosted by Sean Rameswaram.
