“Instagram owner” just say Meta lol

for targeted ads I guess

That’s a problem with many companies… for example, Google Maps relies almost completely on its local guides that spend many hours of their free time adding content to google maps.

I really hope this will stay that way and this isn’t just a hype…

thanks!

aaaaahhhh this is so unsatisfying
