Instagram is the plateau of all new age social media platforms the early release of Instagram was in the early 2010’s the idea of Instagram was to share photos and connect with people that you have not been in contact with for years and has the same format and friend system as Facebook which is the founder of Instagram it has taken over as its number one proprietor. When we talk about early Instagram it is not the Instagram that we hold so close and dear as the 2022 version. As we’ve seen Instagram has now taken a professional route as the number one source of displaying ads and spreading content 2 demographics for certain companies. Instagram is the founder of the new age social media such as Snapchat and Tik Tok. Instagram is what we like to call the forefather of 2010’s social media boom and the popularity for displaying content everywhere it was also the break of influencers.
Snapchat was second to hit the market, it’s different from other social medias it was almost like an instant messenger but with pictures just like Instagram. Snapchat was the more casual version of social media before there was any type of advertisement or articles that we could swipe through it was just oh platform of personal use and friendship. it became popular amongst teen crowds for it’s fast acting delivery and the visible features of reading and not reading post and text from this social media. later on as we see it becomes more influenced by social media like Instagram when filters became involved slowly moving to the progression of news outlets and other content by news publishers was added 2 the app. Snapchat’s popularity grew faster than Instagram’s which is something that I didn’t know I think that the demographic it was definitely made for the younger audience unlike Instagram where it was and every person social media platform.
The new rise of TikTok came about in 2020 it was in the height of the pandemic where TikTok became a household name. TikTok’s demographic like Instagram was for everyone of the original tick tock was an app called musical.ly it was a space predominantly made for a younger crowd it was for lip syncing and funny videos that were influenced by an old app called vine which was also another start for influencers. as Tik Tok’s popularity grew we understand as a society the modifications that make TikTok what it is today is heavily influenced by these other huge platforms of social media but the difference with tick tock is that the act to go viral is almost instant and everyone has a chance to become viral at one point or another. which is hard for platforms such as Instagram when it comes to Instagram it matters about how many followers you have and how many likes do you get because that is what makes interaction visible but with TikTok visibility is easy because you can track the number of views you get unlike other social media.
There are many similarities such as algorithms in all of these social media platforms when it comes to spreading knowledge and information such as adds another types of promotion social media has become such a crucial part of spreading and creating traffic towards businesses but they all differ in a way of times to post and how to create this traffic that is needed to keep ads afloat. the key to being a successful poster on these social media platforms is to really focus on time algorithms and mimicking they flow of posting from other influencers. But in all we’ve seen such a growth in social media since the birth of Instagram and many question how long these social media platforms will last but with the demographics of younger people such as Gen- Z it has become the currency of communication. So now to leave all of the readers with the question what is your favorite form out of these social medias and why are they so important to you?
