Demystifying Instagram's "account marketing economy"

On a recent afternoon, a gymnast balanced his hands on the balcony railings on the third floor, overlooking the sidewalk. A woman recorded this stunt on a smartphone, hoping to capture a video of this crazy style and then share it with millions of people. This is the work that 421 Media Company has been doing all day. 421 Media is a well-funded content company that produces popular content for Instagram consumers. Instagram is a social media platform that has more than one billion monthly active users in less than a decade of development. Instagram is part of Facebook's social media empire, and its continued growth is critical to the parent company. However, this platform has grown so large, so fast, and so commercialized that it has the potential to lose the appeal of users who are known for their fashion and intimacy. Instagram has evolved from a photo-sharing application supported by photography enthusiasts to a world of celebrity spokespersons and big V (there are many fans and

Don't fall in "Love", the fraud has caused the Americans to lose more than 1 billion in one year

Love is beautiful and sweet, but don't let it affect your minimum judgment, otherwise you may pay a painful price, and the hard-earned money will fly into the pockets of others. We often hear people say that people who are in love sometimes lose IQ to zero. This sentence is enough to show that both women and men are irrational when they fall in love, so that they will lose their judgment when doing a lot of things. It is precisely because of this irrationality that the love scammers who are trying to misbehave can be taken advantage of. Recently, the US Federal Trade Commission released a statistical report showing that the number of love fraud cases is rising from a national perspective. In 2018 alone, there were 21,368,000 Americans who claimed to have encountered love scammers and lost 143 million due to love fraud.  In the report, the US Federal Trade Commission wrote that "reports related to love fraud are steadily increasing. By contrast, in 2015, about 8,500 Americans r

We may be able to produce plastic with carbon dioxide someday

Due to the overuse of humans, there are now about 8 billion tons of plastic waste piled up on the surface and in the ocean. It is no wonder that plastics have been in poor reputation in recent years. But the importance of plastic is also unquestionable. The invention of plastic revolutionized life in the 20th century. It is durable, versatile, and hygienic. Such materials are almost non-existent in nature. If there is no plastic, we will never create records, tapes, film, etc. Naturally, we will not be able to record music, film, or develop modern medicine. Auto parts, light aircraft materials, satellites and spacecraft also rely on plastics, and global travel and space exploration are possible, not to mention computers, mobile phones and a wide range of networking technologies. Look around, if there is no plastic, our life will be difficult. Despite the importance of plastics, the disposal of plastics has always been a tricky issue. Not only that, but the source of plastic is

Although the Fed decided to extend the repurchase operation plan (to market funding) that ended on October 10 to the beginning of November, Wall Street’s worries about the resurgence of the dollar in the short-term financing market in the fourth quarter have not decreased. A Wall Street hedge fund manager admitted to the reporter that the dollar shock wave in the fourth quarter will be more severe than the US overnight lending rate in September to a record high of 10%. On the one hand, the corporate tax pressure is coming again at the end of the fourth quarter, plus the bank is satisfied. Regulatory requirements need to be fully funded, resulting in a large amount of funds that banks are placing on the market. On the other hand, the US bond yields continue to fall, and the downward pressure on the US economy is increasing, which is forcing a large amount of overseas capital to withdraw a large amount of funds from the United States. This will increase the short-term financing market
