WEBVTT - Instagram's Algorithm Fail, Sarah's Day Says Yes To The Dress & Molly-Mae Hague's Shock Announcement 0:00:00.240 --> 0:00:03.200 This is Outspoken. The podcast is not afraid to say 0:00:03.400 --> 0:00:06.680 exactly what you're thinking. Our names are Amy Kay and 0:00:06.760 --> 0:00:10.559 Sophie Torba. We're identical triplets, but we often don't have 0:00:10.680 --> 0:00:15.720 identical opinions, so sometimes things can get heated. Outspoken covers 0:00:15.760 --> 0:00:20.640 all things reality TV, influences, entertainment, and issues facing women. 0:00:21.440 --> 0:00:28.240 That is so fat. Thank you, hello, and welcome back 0:00:28.240 --> 0:00:31.040 to Outspoken. Now. We thought we would start the episode 0:00:31.080 --> 0:00:33.000 by giving you a little bit of an insight into 0:00:33.040 --> 0:00:35.480 what it's really like working with your sisters. I feel 0:00:35.520 --> 0:00:37.520 like it's no secret that we argue from time to time. 0:00:37.560 --> 0:00:39.879 I mean, we've had full blown arguments on this podcast. 0:00:39.920 --> 0:00:42.520 I've even listened back to the start of episodes where 0:00:42.560 --> 0:00:44.600 my voice is like hoarse because we've had like a 0:00:44.680 --> 0:00:47.479 very heated argument before we've got into recording about what 0:00:47.479 --> 0:00:49.920 we're going to be talking about. Yeah. Well, the other night, 0:00:49.960 --> 0:00:51.760 we all had a girls' night at Sophie's house and 0:00:51.800 --> 0:00:55.200 we decided to watch the Veronica's Reality MTV show, and 0:00:55.320 --> 0:00:58.440 oh my gosh, I've never related to a clip of 0:00:58.520 --> 0:01:01.000 two people fighting ever so much in my life. Yeah, 0:01:01.000 --> 0:01:03.639 I felt like it really encapsulates what our arguments are 0:01:03.680 --> 0:01:06.319 like without having to actually air our own dirty pountry 0:01:06.360 --> 0:01:08.760 and show really what we argue like, I think we 0:01:08.800 --> 0:01:11.280 should go to a clip and have a listen at 0:01:11.319 --> 0:01:12.520 how they fight with each other. 0:01:13.000 --> 0:01:16.720 So Lese forgot the black latex bodysuit again. I had 0:01:16.720 --> 0:01:19.280 to pack three suitcases full of stuff, and I had 0:01:19.319 --> 0:01:21.880 all the beads, all the dresses, the blue and the 0:01:21.880 --> 0:01:22.880 pink lab It's. 0:01:22.720 --> 0:01:24.080 Too much responsibility. 0:01:24.319 --> 0:01:25.399 I remember read a minute. 0:01:25.440 --> 0:01:28.480 I don't mind listen to me. You have it. No, 0:01:28.640 --> 0:01:30.120 you had the red and the black latex. 0:01:30.200 --> 0:01:32.840 I have the red, you have the black from hands, 0:01:33.000 --> 0:01:36.120 you have the latex bodysuit from the Heaven Party. I'll 0:01:36.120 --> 0:01:37.880 go find the text message back. 0:01:37.959 --> 0:01:40.399 Now go find that that good. I will once I 0:01:40.440 --> 0:01:42.679 actually have the time. Now, you took my makeup? Where 0:01:42.920 --> 0:01:43.720 take your makeup? 0:01:43.800 --> 0:01:46.280 It's probably sitting in the same place with the black latex. 0:01:47.040 --> 0:01:50.360 You are a nightmare to be around. I packed both 0:01:50.360 --> 0:01:54.240 of the knee. 0:01:53.200 --> 0:01:54.560 Shut the fight. Told you. 0:01:54.640 --> 0:01:58.640 I will take into pack everything that I you have 0:01:58.800 --> 0:02:01.120 for the right of having any opinion right now unless 0:02:01.120 --> 0:02:02.360 you show respect. 0:02:01.920 --> 0:02:03.240 When I'm speaking and stop. 0:02:03.480 --> 0:02:07.360 It's not like we don't have a billion other options, 0:02:07.400 --> 0:02:10.120 I know, but literally the black Latex is actually a 0:02:10.160 --> 0:02:10.840 stable piece. 0:02:10.840 --> 0:02:11.440 And you know that. 0:02:11.919 --> 0:02:15.720 No, Jess, honestly say I'm sorry. 0:02:16.040 --> 0:02:18.639 Don't say no, I say I apologizing, and you don't 0:02:18.680 --> 0:02:22.120 have apologie, because I'm not enabling your behavior right now. 0:02:22.560 --> 0:02:25.880 So Hi, your hair gets the more bitchy you're becoming. 0:02:27.480 --> 0:02:29.440 The first thing I loved about this fight is the 0:02:29.480 --> 0:02:32.040 fact that they are openly arguing in front of a 0:02:32.160 --> 0:02:34.720 room full of people, and I just love how awkward 0:02:34.760 --> 0:02:36.920 the people look. I really felt for our best friend 0:02:36.960 --> 0:02:39.359 Owen because I felt like it showed what she must 0:02:39.400 --> 0:02:41.799 feel like in those moments where Sophie, Amy and I 0:02:41.840 --> 0:02:44.919 are having massive arguments and she's just awkwardly there trying 0:02:45.080 --> 0:02:47.200 not to like be on anyone side. Do you know what? 0:02:47.240 --> 0:02:49.079 Though so many people have told us that our fights 0:02:49.080 --> 0:02:52.160 are funny to watch, and watching them, I finally understood, Oh, 0:02:52.200 --> 0:02:54.959 it actually is quite entertaining. It also brought me back 0:02:55.000 --> 0:02:57.600 to a fight that we had on our girls trip 0:02:57.639 --> 0:03:00.919 with Owen in Penang, where it was a fight about communism, 0:03:01.040 --> 0:03:03.160 of all things. But that's the thing, Like, not that 0:03:03.160 --> 0:03:06.000 that's a small issue, but I mean, most of the 0:03:06.080 --> 0:03:08.680 arguments we have are brought on by the most minute 0:03:08.680 --> 0:03:11.120 thing I think though the topic in question is not 0:03:11.200 --> 0:03:13.760 usually what where the argument is stemming from. It's usually 0:03:13.880 --> 0:03:16.600 used as a vehicle for other issues to be raised. 0:03:16.720 --> 0:03:18.840 The other bit of the Veronica's fight I really related 0:03:18.840 --> 0:03:22.000 to is how they overcome their argument. So let's have 0:03:22.000 --> 0:03:23.360 a listen to this clip. 0:03:24.240 --> 0:03:26.080 As soon as you hear I start to call each other, 0:03:26.200 --> 0:03:28.400 chi chi, you know that the fight is over and 0:03:28.440 --> 0:03:29.760 the white flag is waving. 0:03:30.120 --> 0:03:31.840 And even just do it around there and do it 0:03:31.880 --> 0:03:32.880 at a moment, CHITCHI lot. 0:03:33.880 --> 0:03:35.760 If I had the black Wave ex bodyuit, this could have. 0:03:35.680 --> 0:03:36.080 Been a month. 0:03:36.560 --> 0:03:38.360 This is us to a tea. I mean, I'm going 0:03:38.400 --> 0:03:40.640 to be honest. We've lived with each other for thirty years, 0:03:40.640 --> 0:03:42.920 so yeah, there has been points where we've almost had 0:03:42.960 --> 0:03:45.640 physical fights. Well we have, Sorry, we have had physical fights. 0:03:45.680 --> 0:03:48.960 There's been shoes thrown at each other's, the muffin throwing incident. 0:03:49.080 --> 0:03:51.400 The worst thing is that sometimes these arguments would be 0:03:51.480 --> 0:03:55.040 captured on Snapchat secretly, and sometimes I get these memories 0:03:55.080 --> 0:03:57.640 pop up when we live together and like Brandon will 0:03:57.680 --> 0:03:59.480 be like, what are you watching? I'm like, I think 0:04:00.080 --> 0:04:01.640 That's what I'm going to say is like, that's the 0:04:01.680 --> 0:04:04.560 point where it's you know, quite a crazy fight. But literally, 0:04:04.760 --> 0:04:08.800 I'd say ten minutes later, we will just be putting 0:04:08.840 --> 0:04:11.200 on these little voices to each other and calling it. Yeah, 0:04:11.200 --> 0:04:15.400 they cute little names, darling, stop it, and literally everything 0:04:15.440 --> 0:04:18.680 will be fine. It's our boyfriends can't work it out. 0:04:18.800 --> 0:04:21.760 Do you know what's funny seeing how other siblings resolve 0:04:21.839 --> 0:04:24.200 some arguments or the fact that they don't argue at all. 0:04:24.360 --> 0:04:26.400 I would like to know is it just a multiple 0:04:26.400 --> 0:04:29.080 birth thing? Because we've obviously had to share the womb 0:04:29.080 --> 0:04:32.080 with each other. We're that close and just like the Veronicas, 0:04:32.080 --> 0:04:33.960 So when I saw them, I was like, is it 0:04:34.040 --> 0:04:37.280 multiple births? Or is it like girls and girls arguing? 0:04:37.440 --> 0:04:40.200 Or We're going to put the question in our Facebook group, 0:04:40.200 --> 0:04:43.320 which has outspoken the podcast Facebook community, and we want 0:04:43.360 --> 0:04:46.120 to know, what are the biggest arguments you've ever had 0:04:46.120 --> 0:04:48.360 with this sibling and do you relate to the veron 0:04:48.720 --> 0:04:50.920 I don't so much. I'd also like to throw in there, 0:04:50.960 --> 0:04:55.360 what's the biggest argument you've had over something ridiculously small? 0:04:55.360 --> 0:04:58.039 It doesn't even matter. Yeah, what triggers the arguments? Because 0:04:58.040 --> 0:05:03.280 for us it's usually clothes and make up, boyfriends stealing 0:05:03.360 --> 0:05:07.560 each other's things, Yeah, it's really anything, very trivial things, 0:05:07.680 --> 0:05:10.560 even just the way something is phrased towards someone. And 0:05:10.600 --> 0:05:13.920 as we said, communism apparently is another point of argument. 0:05:14.520 --> 0:05:15.440 Hi, sister. 0:05:16.160 --> 0:05:19.600 My influencer James Charles has hit out at Instagram, claiming 0:05:19.600 --> 0:05:22.440 a change in the platform's algorithm has caused his likes 0:05:22.440 --> 0:05:25.159 to drop from four million to one million per post. 0:05:25.520 --> 0:05:28.400 In the eight minute long video, the beauty influencer explained 0:05:28.400 --> 0:05:30.719 that while he can survive with a seventy five percent 0:05:30.800 --> 0:05:34.440 drop in engagement, a lot of other creators cannot. Amy 0:05:34.480 --> 0:05:37.400 What are your thoughts on what James Charles said? Well, 0:05:37.440 --> 0:05:39.880 I really love the fact that James Charles came out 0:05:40.040 --> 0:05:42.360 and made an Insta story about this topic. And I 0:05:42.400 --> 0:05:44.359 think first we should have a listened to what exactly 0:05:44.360 --> 0:05:46.719 can I say say? It's quite ironic that he used 0:05:46.720 --> 0:05:49.480 Instagram to share the story that he's not happy with Instagram, 0:05:49.520 --> 0:05:51.440 and Instagram would have been like, yeah, let's get this 0:05:51.560 --> 0:05:54.480 algorithm low for this post. Anyway, let's throw to the clip. 0:05:54.839 --> 0:05:57.880 There has been a massive major change in the Instagram 0:05:57.920 --> 0:06:00.719 algorithm that I have noticed, the other big have noticed, 0:06:00.720 --> 0:06:03.120 and that I know for a fact small businesses and 0:06:03.120 --> 0:06:06.080 small artists have definitely noticed because it affects them the most. 0:06:06.360 --> 0:06:08.680 And Instagram is sitting here adding all these features that 0:06:08.720 --> 0:06:12.360 nobody's asking for, pretending like nothing's happening, nothing is changing, 0:06:12.720 --> 0:06:15.640 are while ignoring everybody who's giving them feedback and saying 0:06:15.640 --> 0:06:17.760 that they don't like the directing that the app is going. 0:06:19.200 --> 0:06:20.359 It's crazy to me. 0:06:20.880 --> 0:06:23.039 So I thought this was a really interesting point that 0:06:23.160 --> 0:06:25.800 James Charles made. He first came out and said that 0:06:26.160 --> 0:06:28.800 of course he's being selfish in making this post because 0:06:28.839 --> 0:06:31.440 it is affecting his business. But what about the people 0:06:31.480 --> 0:06:34.279 who are small creators or small businesses. I mean, a 0:06:34.320 --> 0:06:37.600 seventy five percent decrease in people coming to your account 0:06:37.640 --> 0:06:39.680 is a huge number, and it could be killing a 0:06:39.680 --> 0:06:43.000 lot of businesses. And it's really difficult if the creators 0:06:43.000 --> 0:06:46.160 of that platform can't understand what's going on, which is 0:06:46.200 --> 0:06:48.320 going to have a trickle down effect to brands, because 0:06:48.360 --> 0:06:50.800 brands aren't going to know why people are getting a 0:06:50.800 --> 0:06:53.039 seventy five percent decrease, and they're going to assume that 0:06:53.080 --> 0:06:55.480 those influences are people that they no longer want to work. 0:06:55.520 --> 0:06:59.080 I've got a theory. Did Instagram get rid of likes? 0:06:59.160 --> 0:07:01.120 So that it wouldn't be a parent how much this 0:07:01.240 --> 0:07:03.919 drop was occurring for regular people. So they just weren't 0:07:03.960 --> 0:07:06.560 across the fact that there was an algorithm change, because 0:07:06.640 --> 0:07:08.840 unless you're working with someone like James Charles, you're not 0:07:08.880 --> 0:07:11.040 privy to all of his stats. Well, James Charles has 0:07:11.040 --> 0:07:13.560 said he's only seen a change in algorithm in the 0:07:13.640 --> 0:07:16.680 last two months. So his posts we're getting four million likes, 0:07:16.680 --> 0:07:19.200 they're now getting one million likes. And he said he's 0:07:19.240 --> 0:07:21.880 done nothing. He hasn't changed how many times he's posting, 0:07:21.920 --> 0:07:24.400 he's responding to fans, he's doing all the right things, 0:07:24.640 --> 0:07:27.600 and all it points to is the fact that Instagram 0:07:27.640 --> 0:07:31.600 has made an algorithm change. However, they haven't announced any change, 0:07:31.800 --> 0:07:34.400 which is what he's so angry about, because brands will 0:07:34.440 --> 0:07:37.680 be saying, well, what's the problem, because Instagram, haven't you 0:07:37.960 --> 0:07:41.040 announced anything has changed. What they have actually made an 0:07:41.040 --> 0:07:44.280 announcement about is additions that they've made to the platform. 0:07:44.560 --> 0:07:48.240 So Instagram IGTVV creators now have the option to turn 0:07:48.280 --> 0:07:51.400 on automatic captions for their videos, which are available in 0:07:51.480 --> 0:07:54.240 sixteen different languages. That's good, which make the platform a 0:07:54.240 --> 0:07:57.120 lot more inclusive to people that obviously can't hear. It's 0:07:57.120 --> 0:07:59.160 a great idea though as well. But it's also for 0:07:59.200 --> 0:08:01.480 people who were just at work on Instagram and don't 0:08:01.520 --> 0:08:03.560 want to lose of course. Yeah, that too, which I'm 0:08:03.560 --> 0:08:06.720 actually loving because I noticed on the Instagram stories now 0:08:07.040 --> 0:08:09.840 you can even you write your caption or whatever, but 0:08:09.880 --> 0:08:11.800 you can have it as rolling text as well, which 0:08:11.840 --> 0:08:15.840 is pretty cool. They have also introduced a new map 0:08:15.880 --> 0:08:18.400 and calendar tool, which I'm actually not familiar with yet, 0:08:18.680 --> 0:08:21.960 which allows people to browse old stories by date and location. 0:08:22.120 --> 0:08:25.520 Oh my god from other people's Yeah, well it's insane 0:08:26.000 --> 0:08:28.960 that door then changing. Oh god, I would have loved 0:08:28.960 --> 0:08:31.160 that about five years ago. Yeah, I thought you were 0:08:31.160 --> 0:08:33.040 going to say it was a map like on Snapchat, 0:08:33.080 --> 0:08:34.559 which I was going to say, that's pretty well, that 0:08:34.559 --> 0:08:37.240 would be pretty tough for influences to be on that celebrity. Well. 0:08:37.280 --> 0:08:40.600 There's also they've made some changes to reels. Now reels 0:08:40.600 --> 0:08:43.800 can be thirty seconds long rather than fifteen seconds. Did 0:08:43.800 --> 0:08:47.040 you guys know about this one? So Instagram, to celebrate 0:08:47.120 --> 0:08:50.480 its tenth birthday, has introduced that you can change the 0:08:50.520 --> 0:08:53.440 Instagram icon on your phone. So what you have to 0:08:53.480 --> 0:08:56.440 do is you go into your settings and you pull 0:08:56.559 --> 0:09:00.160 the page down until you see confetti animation, and then 0:09:00.200 --> 0:09:02.880 it will allow you to choose between like the normal 0:09:02.920 --> 0:09:06.800 Instagram logo, the classic and the retro one. I feel 0:09:06.840 --> 0:09:10.800 like it's all smoke and mirrors. They're introducing all of 0:09:10.840 --> 0:09:14.360 these fancy new things, but yet hiding the fact that 0:09:14.400 --> 0:09:17.200 the algorithm has changed and that this will drastically affect 0:09:17.240 --> 0:09:20.840 businesses online. Well, that's exactly what James Child said. He said, 0:09:20.920 --> 0:09:23.679 while Instagram are bringing in all these new features, they're 0:09:23.760 --> 0:09:27.280 not actually acknowledging the changes that a lot of creators 0:09:27.280 --> 0:09:30.559 are having a problem with, number one being the algorithm change. Yeah. Well, 0:09:30.559 --> 0:09:32.760 for me, it's quite obvious that Instagram have a real 0:09:32.800 --> 0:09:36.000 focus on monetization and commos, which is what the top 0:09:36.080 --> 0:09:40.440 executive at Instagram, Tom Masirio, actually announced, and he said, 0:09:40.480 --> 0:09:42.640 we're working on a number of new features to help 0:09:42.679 --> 0:09:46.360 creators making a living. Expect more updates soon. He also 0:09:46.520 --> 0:09:49.720 hinted more audience insights may soon be available to businesses 0:09:49.760 --> 0:09:53.480 and creator accounts. But to me, it's what they're actually 0:09:53.480 --> 0:09:56.400 doing is very counterintuitive to the creators. They're claiming, oh no, 0:09:56.480 --> 0:09:58.080 we're going to make it easier for you guys to 0:09:58.080 --> 0:10:00.520 earn money on the platform. But that's not the The 0:10:00.600 --> 0:10:03.440 issue is that for a long time, influencers have been 0:10:03.480 --> 0:10:06.079 earning a lot of money from the platform, but Instagram 0:10:06.120 --> 0:10:09.000 themselves have not, So that's quite clear why they are 0:10:09.000 --> 0:10:11.200 making change. So it's like, here's all these tools so 0:10:11.280 --> 0:10:14.439 you can be better at influencing or making your business 0:10:14.480 --> 0:10:16.280 page go off, but then we're going to cut down 0:10:16.280 --> 0:10:19.240 your engagement so much. It's very obvious that Instagram just 0:10:19.320 --> 0:10:22.960 want influencers and businesses to pay to be seen on 0:10:23.000 --> 0:10:25.360 the app, which is what exactly happened to Facebook and 0:10:25.880 --> 0:10:28.400 why Facebook is now so unpopular. I mean, yes, we 0:10:28.480 --> 0:10:30.240 all go on it, but we don't use it how 0:10:30.240 --> 0:10:32.360 we used to use it, and I feel like Instagram 0:10:32.400 --> 0:10:34.760 is going to turn into the same thing. Well, James 0:10:34.760 --> 0:10:36.800 Tiles made a really good point. He said that it 0:10:36.920 --> 0:10:39.680 is embarrassing that his likes have gone down from four 0:10:39.720 --> 0:10:42.839 million to one million, and although he's more concerned about 0:10:42.840 --> 0:10:45.600 what it means for smaller businesses and also his business, 0:10:45.960 --> 0:10:48.200 it does bring up a very good point of will 0:10:48.240 --> 0:10:50.920 people be posting? I know likes have been taken away, 0:10:50.920 --> 0:10:53.120 but let's be honest, we can still see, you know, 0:10:53.160 --> 0:10:56.640 there's ways around seeing people's engagement. Jump on your desktop 0:10:56.640 --> 0:10:58.000 and have a lot. Yeah. Yeah, but as soon as 0:10:58.000 --> 0:11:00.200 someone like if I like your post, amy, I can 0:11:00.200 --> 0:11:02.240 then click on and see how many people have liked it. Yes, 0:11:02.280 --> 0:11:04.040 I have to manually count it, but it gives me 0:11:04.160 --> 0:11:06.600 an idea of how many likes you've gotten. Well, Instagram 0:11:06.640 --> 0:11:08.679 actually came out and said that one of the reasons 0:11:08.679 --> 0:11:13.040 for taking away likes was to increase user engagement on Instagram, 0:11:13.080 --> 0:11:15.320 so people wouldn't care about posting a photo if it 0:11:15.320 --> 0:11:18.040 didn't get many likes. But what James Charles is saying, 0:11:18.080 --> 0:11:21.559 these new changes are making people get seventy five percent 0:11:21.600 --> 0:11:24.160 less engagement, and people are tweeting and saying I don't 0:11:24.160 --> 0:11:26.640 even feel like posting a photo on Instagram because it's 0:11:26.640 --> 0:11:31.160 just embarrassing. Well, talking about the changes, obviously, Instagram haven't 0:11:31.160 --> 0:11:33.040 actually come out and said that there are any. But 0:11:33.080 --> 0:11:37.760 what are people actually thinking has been changed with the algorithm? Well, 0:11:38.040 --> 0:11:41.400 there are thoughts that the algorithm is favoring people whose 0:11:41.440 --> 0:11:44.720 photos are saved. So I actually never do that. I 0:11:44.800 --> 0:11:46.840 never save people's photos. But a lot of people are 0:11:46.840 --> 0:11:50.520 saying that this change in algorithm is actually favoring people 0:11:50.559 --> 0:11:53.160 who post you know, like bikini first trap picks, because 0:11:53.200 --> 0:11:55.400 let's be honest, that's what some men and I suppose 0:11:55.400 --> 0:11:58.120 some women are also saving on their phones. Yeah, I 0:11:58.400 --> 0:12:01.240 noticed that Jade Twinschi was actually asking her followers to 0:12:01.280 --> 0:12:04.120 start saving pictures if they wanted to see her in 0:12:04.200 --> 0:12:07.760 their news feed. It does make me think is Instagram 0:12:07.800 --> 0:12:11.280 turning more into Pinterest, because that's a very Pinterest style thing. 0:12:11.320 --> 0:12:13.200 I mean, you obviously go on there, you find an 0:12:13.360 --> 0:12:15.960 esthetic that you like, maybe you're planning a wedding or 0:12:15.960 --> 0:12:19.240 redecorating or looking at fashion, and you save the pins. 0:12:19.559 --> 0:12:23.520 So it feels to me like Instagram is rebelling from 0:12:24.080 --> 0:12:28.800 what is now becoming a place where it's favoring authenticity. 0:12:28.880 --> 0:12:31.800 But it completely contradicts their first message when they got 0:12:31.880 --> 0:12:33.240 rid of the likes. They said, we want you to 0:12:33.240 --> 0:12:36.320 feel comfortable to post regularly whatever you want. But then 0:12:36.360 --> 0:12:38.280 they're saying you have to post images that are good 0:12:38.360 --> 0:12:40.840 enough to be saved and used on other platforms. It 0:12:40.840 --> 0:12:43.079 makes no sense. It seems like they're trying to push 0:12:43.120 --> 0:12:46.120 back to a time when feeds were really curated and 0:12:46.160 --> 0:12:48.720 people are only wanting to save these very perfect images 0:12:48.720 --> 0:12:51.360 to try and repliciz It's just a very dumb business move. 0:12:51.520 --> 0:12:54.840 It's not reflective of what society wants at the moment, 0:12:55.080 --> 0:12:57.320 especially with the pandemic. I feel like people are pushing 0:12:57.360 --> 0:12:59.880 against that perfect ideal. Just a thought though it could 0:13:00.160 --> 0:13:03.520 actually advantage some small creators because think about it. You know, 0:13:03.640 --> 0:13:08.640 like people who post about their pantries and their organizational photos. 0:13:08.880 --> 0:13:11.800 People would be saving that type of content. I mean, 0:13:11.840 --> 0:13:15.040 I wouldn't go and save influences like glamorous shots. It 0:13:15.040 --> 0:13:17.480 would be more business pages I'd be saving. But it's 0:13:17.480 --> 0:13:19.719 dependent on what you're looking for. So there's a lot 0:13:19.720 --> 0:13:24.120 of young people out there that may save influencers glamoroushots 0:13:24.120 --> 0:13:27.480 because they like that clothing style or that honest it's 0:13:27.600 --> 0:13:30.400 men saving photos for a wank bank, like that is 0:13:30.440 --> 0:13:33.040 what it is. I'm just going to say it's photo 0:13:33.080 --> 0:13:35.600 has everyone, But that would be a large portion I 0:13:35.679 --> 0:13:40.400 believe of an audience that will now be favoring bikini photos. 0:13:40.400 --> 0:13:41.959 But on the other hand, I feel like people who 0:13:42.000 --> 0:13:44.840 run social media accounts for a living they save photos 0:13:44.920 --> 0:13:48.120 is inspiration from other accounts, But is that just encouraging 0:13:48.160 --> 0:13:51.200 people to steal photos and copy one another's photos. Well, 0:13:51.240 --> 0:13:53.560 it's interesting you say that because one of the new 0:13:53.600 --> 0:13:58.199 features Instagram have added is similar to what Facebook's feature 0:13:58.360 --> 0:14:01.280 is in terms of copywriting. So Facebook actually have a 0:14:01.320 --> 0:14:03.679 feature that I didn't even know about until today called 0:14:03.720 --> 0:14:06.480 Facebook Rights Manager, and it's a tool designed to help 0:14:06.520 --> 0:14:09.800 you find any of your copyrighted images that you've submitted 0:14:09.840 --> 0:14:13.040 for protection on the platform and manage them accordingly. So 0:14:13.160 --> 0:14:15.800 now you can do that with Instagram. You can say, okay, 0:14:15.800 --> 0:14:18.440 well I've taken this beautiful photo and you can have 0:14:18.600 --> 0:14:21.520 Instagram track it and then serve those people with sort 0:14:21.520 --> 0:14:24.160 of an infringement to let them know, hey, that's actually 0:14:24.240 --> 0:14:28.600 your photo, which is very an interesting step to protect creators. 0:14:28.760 --> 0:14:31.960 But then they're encouraging people to save them, so yeah, 0:14:32.280 --> 0:14:35.200 it doesn't make sense. Yeah, I suppose you can save them, 0:14:35.240 --> 0:14:37.160 but once you replicate them and pass them off as 0:14:37.200 --> 0:14:39.440 your own work, it's not fair. Well. I had a 0:14:39.440 --> 0:14:41.600 look on Social Blade, which is a website where you 0:14:41.640 --> 0:14:46.160 can look at different influencers engagement, and currently James Charles 0:14:46.160 --> 0:14:49.520 has eight point six three percent engagement on his Instagram 0:14:49.600 --> 0:14:52.040 and that's really good. That's a really high engagement. So 0:14:52.080 --> 0:14:55.600 it's crazy to think he actually had four times the amount. 0:14:55.680 --> 0:14:57.680 Yeah previously, Well, I had to look at some of 0:14:57.680 --> 0:14:59.960 the Ossie influencers because I thought everyone might be interest 0:15:00.520 --> 0:15:03.360 and it's crazy to see who's doing really well. So 0:15:03.720 --> 0:15:08.480 Bella from The Bachelor, her engagement is more than James Charles. Really, 0:15:08.520 --> 0:15:11.520 her engagement is nine points. But that's just the percent 0:15:11.640 --> 0:15:13.800 though it doesn't mean there's more people. Yeah, but the 0:15:13.880 --> 0:15:17.520 percentage is a comparable of the audience. And over the 0:15:17.560 --> 0:15:21.840 last thirty days, Bella's Instagram has grown by thirty four thousand, 0:15:22.160 --> 0:15:24.000 so she has a total of one hundred and nine 0:15:24.040 --> 0:15:27.080 thousand followers, So that is growing at an amazing rate. Well, 0:15:27.120 --> 0:15:29.840 that's pretty expected when you've been on the finale of 0:15:29.880 --> 0:15:32.200 The Bachelor. I feel like we'll look in thirty days 0:15:32.200 --> 0:15:34.200 time and that growth will not be there anymore. Well, 0:15:34.240 --> 0:15:36.720 last time I looked at Becky, who's one of the Bachelorette, 0:15:36.760 --> 0:15:39.200 she had twenty five thousand followers. I think it is 0:15:39.600 --> 0:15:42.520 indicative of the ratings for that show at the moment though. Well, 0:15:42.560 --> 0:15:46.160 Becky's engagement is five point eight percent. But it's crazy. 0:15:46.200 --> 0:15:48.800 You look at Abby Chatfield, She's got six point one 0:15:48.920 --> 0:15:52.160 seven percent engagement, But look at someone like Tully Smith 0:15:52.240 --> 0:15:55.280 and her engagement is zero point six percent. That really 0:15:55.280 --> 0:15:57.320 surprised me. But I suppose when you look at someone 0:15:57.360 --> 0:16:00.720 like Abby Chatfield, who is consistently connecting with her audience 0:16:00.760 --> 0:16:04.400 in a very relatable and authentic way, people are going 0:16:04.480 --> 0:16:06.880 to be drawn to that type of content. I had 0:16:06.880 --> 0:16:09.320 to look at Tylia Skaines's engagement on Social Blade and 0:16:09.360 --> 0:16:12.480 she's currently at two point three percent, and she does 0:16:12.520 --> 0:16:14.440 post a lot of bikini picks, so it will be 0:16:14.440 --> 0:16:16.800 interesting to see if that figure does go up over 0:16:16.840 --> 0:16:18.880 the next couple of weeks. And I'm really intrigued to 0:16:18.920 --> 0:16:21.880 see if Instagram slowly does start taking some of that 0:16:22.040 --> 0:16:25.200 power away from influencers, because it does indeed seem like 0:16:25.320 --> 0:16:27.560 that is what their end goal is, and it seems 0:16:27.560 --> 0:16:30.480 to already be happening. You know, you've got the Instagram's 0:16:30.480 --> 0:16:33.520 biggest influencers calling them out. But how dumb because everyone's 0:16:33.520 --> 0:16:35.040 just going to go away from the app. I mean, 0:16:35.080 --> 0:16:38.120 TikTok's threatening Instagram in terms of popularity, And why would 0:16:38.120 --> 0:16:40.400 you be pissing people off like James Charles. Maybe they're 0:16:40.400 --> 0:16:42.480 getting too big for their boots now that TikTok is 0:16:42.640 --> 0:16:46.160 potentially being shut down in America. Maybe Hi, I'm Monie 0:16:46.200 --> 0:16:49.720 May hag I've got a text. This week, Love Island 0:16:49.720 --> 0:16:52.520 star Molly May Haigu revealed to her four point nine 0:16:52.600 --> 0:16:55.600 billion followers that she needs further surgery after having a 0:16:55.640 --> 0:16:58.160 mole removed on her leg. The twenty one year old 0:16:58.200 --> 0:17:00.720 said while she's very scared, she wants her story to 0:17:00.800 --> 0:17:03.720 raise awareness. Skin cancer is ranked as the most common 0:17:03.760 --> 0:17:06.960 cancer amongst BRIT's age fifteen to thirty four, with many 0:17:07.040 --> 0:17:10.760 viewing selariums as a healthy way to get vitamin D. Sophie, 0:17:10.800 --> 0:17:14.160 can you talk us through what's happening with Molly may Well? 0:17:14.160 --> 0:17:16.360 Molly may has been very vocal sharing this on her 0:17:16.359 --> 0:17:19.439 Instagram and last month that started with a photo that 0:17:19.480 --> 0:17:22.639 she shared showing her bandaged leg and she explained that 0:17:22.720 --> 0:17:25.400 she had to have a mole removed after getting multiple 0:17:25.400 --> 0:17:29.160 opinions from different doctors who suggested it may become cancerous 0:17:29.200 --> 0:17:31.520 at some stage. This kind of freaked me out because 0:17:31.520 --> 0:17:35.000 she said she went to two doctors that told her 0:17:35.119 --> 0:17:37.800 that it was fine. So it just shows how important 0:17:37.840 --> 0:17:40.040 it is to follow these things up if you are 0:17:40.160 --> 0:17:43.119 concerned about something. Well. It was actually Molly's mum who 0:17:43.200 --> 0:17:45.040 first noticed the mole and that was when she was 0:17:45.040 --> 0:17:47.119 in the Love Island Feelers, So it has been something 0:17:47.119 --> 0:17:49.840 I think that's been playing on Molly's mind a lot. 0:17:50.000 --> 0:17:51.960 So she told her followers this week that she is 0:17:52.000 --> 0:17:55.200 awaiting further surgery after she had the mole removed on 0:17:55.760 --> 0:17:57.600 her leg, and she told fans that she wasn't going 0:17:57.640 --> 0:18:00.280 to go into detail until she had her results back. 0:18:01.000 --> 0:18:03.600 She wrote, so, about three weeks ago now, I was 0:18:03.640 --> 0:18:06.200 advised that a mole I had on my leg needed removing. 0:18:06.600 --> 0:18:09.640 I had the procedure done within a few days. Last 0:18:09.680 --> 0:18:12.159 week I received my results back and it's safe to 0:18:12.200 --> 0:18:14.720 say they were not at all what I was expecting. 0:18:15.160 --> 0:18:17.960 I've been trying to process the information I received whilst 0:18:18.000 --> 0:18:20.840 being super busy with work, and it's not been easy. 0:18:21.160 --> 0:18:23.160 She then went on to say, I'm still not able 0:18:23.200 --> 0:18:25.960 to give my full diagnosis until my further surgery has 0:18:26.000 --> 0:18:28.800 taken place and have received those results. But for now, 0:18:28.880 --> 0:18:31.080 I'm just trying to stay positive. I never thought at 0:18:31.119 --> 0:18:33.239 twenty one something like this would happen to me, and 0:18:33.280 --> 0:18:35.399 it's very scary. But all I know is that I 0:18:35.440 --> 0:18:37.800 absolutely need to share my story and what I'm going 0:18:37.840 --> 0:18:41.000 through to raise awareness of this situation. I'll keep you 0:18:41.080 --> 0:18:43.159 updated as much as I can. I've already received so 0:18:43.160 --> 0:18:45.560 many lovely messages from you guys, and I appreciate it 0:18:45.600 --> 0:18:47.359 so much. The thing that I've taken away from this 0:18:47.440 --> 0:18:50.000 is that Molly has been so brave in documenting her 0:18:50.040 --> 0:18:54.040
