Studies have shown that carousels are the most engaging type of post on the platform.

One of the most effective techniques: know your audience and talk directly to them as individuals.

you’re leading with the most compelling information or image for the reader, and think about “what’s in it for them” throughout the carousel.

add a visual signal in the images, like an arrow pointing to the right in all but the final image.

You want every slide to stand on its own.

The artist, who only exists online, was working in digital spaces long before anyone talked about NFTs.

The deal with Avedon is this: They don’t exist offline, simply describing themselves as “from the internet.” They are a digitally native creature, building art across online worlds like Second Life, Fortnite, and Star Citizen, and showing said art in prestigious galleries across the United States and Europe.

There’s no separating the art from the artist, because the artist is the art project, a sprightly-looking, nonbinary virtual being untethered from a human body. You could call them a high-art version of avatar influencers like Lil Miquela, although the most apt characterization might be a cross between the Japanese hologram pop idol Hatsune Miku and the pseudonymous British street artist Banksy—the performance of persona is part of the project. Like the ethereal Hatsune Miku, Avedon is visually represented by an avatar. But while it’s out in the open that Miku is a software-fueled collaboration between teams of humans,

Instagram CEO Adam Mosseri is due to testify before Congress about children’s safety on the platform Tuesday.

Forrester survey of 4,602 Americans aged 12 to 17, published last month, found that 63% of respondents used TikTok on a weekly basis compared with 57% for Instagram. It also found 72% of respondents used YouTube weekly. It did not mention Facebook.

Some fluff on the metaverse

https://skarredghost-com.cdn.ampproject.org/c/s/skarredghost.com/2021/09/21/metaverse-fluff/amp/

I remember some years ago reading an article on The Verge saying that like 40% of startups that claim to do AI actually don’t do AI. They just use the name AI because it is cool, but they don’t actually use it. The same goes for the metaverse.
