Speaker 1 (00:00):
Let's talk about Instagram. You know, we need to back off.
I don't want so many features, you know, I want
what is this now?

Speaker 2 (00:08):
Wait? Wait, Like, do you remember Instagram Back in the day,
it was just like you just posted pictures of whatever
you thought ye was great, and you know, and then
there's like the likes and the comments and this and
then and then the stories got added, and now they're
adding what are those little like things that that the
pictures that poke through the side? Now what are those called? Oh? Yeah,
you know, it's like we didn't ask for that.

Speaker 1 (00:26):
But anytime you change the aesthetic of the screen, it
screws me up.

Speaker 2 (00:30):
I know, well, this is going to be another extra
feature on the app, but this one costs money. So
three dollars nine to nine cents a month for this subscription.
It's called Instagram Plus. They're saying the biggest perks are,
like what we were just talking about, your stories, So
you'd be able to keep your stories up for forty
eight hours instead of twenty four. But is that a perk? Like,
I thoughts the great thing about stories is that they

Speaker 2 (01:17):
