Shocking behaviour from Meta - I thoroughly recommend you move elsewhere as they have enabled by default anyone to share and reuse (including AI) your work on Instagram... #instagram #meta #security #privacy #youareatrisk #leavemetaproducts https://www.3dcandy.social/2026/07/instagram-enables-ai-sharing-and-reuse-of-your-images-by-default/

I am getting to hear lots of reports that AI is taking videos from hard working creators, changing things, adding new pics and then they are being uploaded and getting more views than the originals. If this continues Youtube will be dead pretty soon.... like FB is dying!

@ginger_tosser I agree it is still used but not anywhere how it used to be used. As the rot sets in it will just become less and less relevant. It is also a platform defined by age ie it is a platform for old people. Younger people go nowhere near it. However it is like it was for myspace and friends reunited here in the UK etc. they were good, then great then declined and then all of a sudden abandoned. It will be like Nokia
