Cześć Tania. No, you didn't have a humor, but you did not have a lot of humor, but you did not have a lot of time to talk about it. Okay, good.

0:40 I'm going to talk about it today. I'm going to talk about something very popular and popular. I just wanted to talk about Instagram. Just Instagram. Instagram, yes. Because in the media in our podcast, we often talk about it. We often talk about it. We're talking about the psychology of the media. That's where the media, social media, all the time are broken, but today is a podcast only Instagram. Only problem Instagram. Problem or not problem, Roy? Problem or not problem? What is it? Instagram is an app where we publish, publish, publish, but I don't know, from your perspective.

1:28 Maybe you're a good one. Yes, I have a few. I have a call on Instagram for my personal. I have a few podcasts, speaking, meditation, awakening, crypto, and learn Polish. And let me say... It's a better platform for me for the podcast. For me, Instagram doesn't work very well, but I know a lot of people who are the best. So everything depends. So you said you can't work, you can't work. Okay, so you don't use Instagram every day, right? Or you don't use every day, or not?

2:13 Yeah, yeah. But I'm going to binge on the next one, because I organize a lot of graphics on. No. A, powiedz mi w takim razie, idea Instagrama, no bo Instagram został wprowadzony, no ja nie pamiętam kiedy, ale to jest nowa aplikacja, no to kilka lat ma chyba, kiedyś Instagrama nie było.

2:56 Oh, to jest 10 albo więcej, bo Facebooka kupi Instagram, co było przed Facebooka i Facebook kupisz na 1 bilion dolar chyba. No tak, czyli Instagram został wprowadzony. No właśnie. No i powiedz mi, Roj, czy twoim zdaniem on rozwinął się dobrze czy źle? To znaczy, bo teraz jest jeszcze bardziej popularny. Kiedyś był trochę mniej, tak? Kiedyś też niedużo ludzi go miało, a teraz chyba każdy ma. Na Instagramie robi się dosłownie wszystko. To powiedz mi, jaka była taka ewolucja tego Instagrama? Jak ty to obserwowałeś? Jak ty to odbierasz? So, per se be what he goes dinshe, but tell us, tell us is there, real, real, albo short.

3:45 A polsko to są rolki, te real, style, roli. Or films. No, like, these films. So it's very interesting. Now we have a picture of the pictures. Now let's say, what are the functions of Instagram? Because when he was in the video, Instagram was just to do, to be able to share pictures, to be able to share some moments, to be able to document the moments. Now it's already not. Of course. Now there are different functions of Instagram. There are different functions. What are the actual functions of Instagram? What do Instagram do?

4:29 It can be connected to Facebook. It can be metabusiness. So when you have something on Facebook, it will be on Facebook and on Instagram too. You don't have to do it twice. To help. From the moment. From the experience, I know, but... So business. Maybe it's business. So, first of all, it's a business. Instagram can sell. Okay. So, as far as business, what kind of things do you have to do with Instagram? Social, social, just talk or maybe see or just time, nothing, right? We have this Instagram, practically everyone, but it's a good question.

5:11 What is his function? What does he give us in life? It's like your time to cash. It's a function. No, right. Time to money, right? Time to money, of course, yes. We pay for this time, because what do we do? scrolls we're going to the film and roll kit and we're going to lose time. Okay, so we have the Instagram function. We know that sometimes they're changing. Now that Instagram looks better. And now that's not the first time. Now that's like because there's a lot of advertising. And also on the real, on the rollette, on the half of the year there's a lot of advertising.

5:52 It's like na 3 minute film is reklama, nie dziękuję. So, czasami, kiedy oglądam coś, and then is reklama, say, yeah, nie dziękuję. Tak, tak, to prawda. No, dobra. A powiedz mi w takim razie, no bo mówimy o tym, że ten Instagram zmieniał się z czasem, tak, że kiedyś to było tylko takie miejsce do publikowania zdjęcia, teraz jest to miejsce, gdzie sprzedajemy, gdzie dodajemy te rolki, gdzie dodajemy dosłownie wszystko. No właśnie, wszystko. I teraz, jak to jest, Roy? Czy to jest naprawdę do końca dobre, albo w ogóle takie zdrowe, że ludzie są w stanie opublikować dosłownie wszystko?

6:35 Ja nie mówię, że jesteś to ty lub ja, bo nie, ale naprawdę są ludzie, którzy dla publika, a się na Instagramie, są w stanie zrobić naprawdę wiele i też publikują wszystko. To znaczy, każde wyjście, przede wszystkim, jeśli wygląda dobrze. And the vision of the ideal life, which we have on Instagram, that we publish only what is nice, you agree with yourself, as you have Instagram, so you definitely see all these publications. What do you see? What do you see on Instagram? What do you see? Wow. For me, it's like, because I have a person who is a photographer, and I want to look at her work.

7:24 It's beautiful, because she has a lot of MMA and a lot of new things. Because sometimes, if I don't want information, I don't want to buy things, because on Instagram, I think you want to do it. And it's like time, time, time. It's like Facebook text, bo przedbyło O, ty jesteś moja kolega, zobacz moje zdjęcia, ja też i może piszesz O, byłeś na impreza, byłeś na koncertach, a teraz ja nie oglądam moje przyjaciół It's like inni ludzi, tak? It's wszystko albo reklama or inni ludzi, bo inni ludzi płacisz, tak?

8:07 Bo chcesz więcej ludzi, dlatego to jest rekomendacja od Instagrama. I też jest niedobra, bo ja mam 6 podcast i cały czas mam ludzi, kto pisz o, chcesz pomóc na twoje podcast. Ja mam 200-300 za tydzień. To jest mój czas, bo może jest osoba, kto interesuje coś, tak? I może 1% jest ważna, 99% jest spam. Mhm. No tak, mi też wyświetlają się filmiki, czy chcę nauczyć się polskiego, no nie, ja nie chcę się nauczyć polskiego, no już umiem.

8:49 Tak, więc tak zwane algorytmy tego, no właśnie, Roy, czy my jako ludzie jesteśmy takimi ofiarami algorytmu? Or so I think that is not true. I look at X and I talk to my friend, he has other things. I look at bad movies, but I always look at comedy.

9:30 So, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so. So prefer you. Sometimes Instagram may be for people who pay to pay for your screen. No, tak, tak, ale te tematy są dosyć takie powiązane, tak? Faktycznie, jak oglądasz cały czas ten temat, to później masz milion takich samych filmików na ten sam temat.

10:14 To jest straszne, no właśnie. I też jest ważne, bo na przykład, a niekiedy będzie kupić ten nowy samochód? Następny miesiąc będzie reklamany samochód. Tak, tak, tak. For me it's not good. I don't want any information. You can find something in Google and then... Ok, I'm talking about what will be the number of the lottery in the next week. No, don't let me know. So, these are the videos we watched.

10:54 No tak, ale właśnie jak to jest z tym, że my faktycznie, znaczy my, mówię, my jako ludzie, niekoniecznie ty i ja, ludzie często tam właśnie pokazujÄ tylko fragment z jakiejś całości, tak? Tylko fragment swojego życia. No właśnie, i czy ty też się zgadzasz z tym, że to życie jest wyidealizowane? Yeah, because I know a few people who are Instagram influencers or when they watch a relationship or an impreza or like my life, normal people are very sad and very neshit, but they can make a film, hey.

11:35 Everything in the meantime, and when they come to the end, they say, oh, oh. Because it's not a lie, it's my life is fantastic on screen. No, no. No, right, so many people are confused, and they show only what is good, and they show it how it is. Okay, tell me, did you ever happen to me to do it? That, actually, published something on Instagram, you know, published something ideal, where so in reality it was not. No, it's not good. For example, I know a person who I've been at an event in my life, and he is one child, everything is in good, the next few months, now it's like 10 people and pay.

12:28 It's like, it's not, it's private information, and you don't have to know everything you have to know information, but a few people think, that you have to know, what I have for my dinner, what will be on the dinner, so you don't have to know. Public information, and what is very important, because there are bots, I don't know, in Polish bots, it is AI, it is not people. Bots. Now information is like 51%. I think that it is 80% or less.

13:10 Because application can pay for followers, can pay for likes, for everything. It's not a computer. So when you look at someone who has 100,000 people, I know, because I look at all the podcast platform on social media and I know that he has 100 000 people, but every single person has 1 like or 2 like. Sometimes people have 200 followers and they have 10 or 20. So it's true. So nobody knows, because he can buy everything.

13:51 So, yes, you can buy everything. So, it's true. Now, tell me just, So, Instagram as an app, all the videos, all the algorithms, all the algorithms, all the algorithms, all the algorithms, can manipulate us? Yes. So, how Instagram or other social media can manipulate us? How do they influence us? Because, for example, when it was in 2020 and it was said that it must be strong, it must be a mask, it must be a manipulator, because it was not strong, it was not true, but it was all written on this social media platform. And people, who think about it themselves, think that it is true, because this information is from the platform.

14:37 And also on a lot of things, maybe climate, maybe something, and when a person is watching a lot of times, you think that it's true. Yes, it's true. and this technique wash your celly from like Vanguard Blackrock to my, shares then he is double of Luigi pack for double of form and information is technique. And when you look at the platform to do something that the world will be 100% better. Never. Sometimes there's something.

15:22 Oh, bullish, bullish, and there's something. Always social media is, people write, oh, there's a storm, there's an earthquake, there's something. Never say, oh, there are 100 000 new jobs from this farmer, or good information, or there are new cure, new health, never. Everything, what for me, for social media, is not good. Well, it's true, it's true, it's true, that actually, it's something that's something positive, always something like wow, that something happened, and sometimes something positive. So, there is manipulation.

16:06 Now, tell me, because we talked about this, that the time is money and we have spent the time watching Instagram. Tell me, how to find out, that I spend a lot of time on Instagram? So, let's say, there is a person who watches Instagram and watches him more. What are the signs that he becomes a little bit of this person? I think that 90% of people are there, because when people go to the pass, I go to the pass, I go to the pass, I go to the pass, I look at the pass, I look at the pass, and everything is on the wall, and look at the phone.

16:56 So, no, so, no, so, no, so, no, so, no, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so They don't need this blockade, but they can't control themselves and they don't use Instagram. Do you think this is possible?

17:37 No, maybe it can change, because I never have to call. Like when I write on Whatsapp or something, never bing, bing, bing. Yeah, bo, kedy ja pracuja, ja robicos, ja ne bende paas na my telefoon, bo dužo ljudi, kedy bing, paas na telefoon, paas na telefoon. I, bo, ja nechceš dužo aplikacije my telefoon, na przykład LinkedIn, a dim potom, kedy ja robic Ccleaner, tak, cookies, dobitenie cookies, ja musis piš SMS i. Czasami, na przykład TikTok, musi być na telefon, tak?

18:19 Bo jacyś bez, ale to jest trudne, kiedy robisz social media dla, na przykład, podcast bez telefonu. So, it must be twoja głowa albo, na przykład, kiedy masz dwa godziny na aplikację, nie będzie, bo kiedy musi być kod, nie może robić to, on będzie czekać. To nie jest dobry też. So, when you are a doctor, you have to know, for example, I have information every day, you are, for example, 4 hours a day attending. When I listen to Spotify, that's okay. When I have a Waza or Waza on GPS, that's okay.

19:01 But when I watch, like, Instagram 30 minutes, or Facebook, I know it may be more. So I can, in the next few days, I can be able to do it. So, some are able to control, some are able to control, some are able to control. Ok, what do you think about detoxing from social media? Is it good or bad? It is very good. I remember, I don't know when I was, probably 10 years ago. I was in Costa Rica, there was no internet where I was. The first day, the second day was difficult, and the next two, three days was paradise.

19:48 So I think that my life is so bad, but... For example, when I am with my son, when I do podcast or editing or something, he looks at the phone, but when I play ping pong, play football, so we go to the cinema. When I do something, my son doesn't look at the phone. So sometimes people do something, because there are no more than anything. Maybe you're a bit of a weird, and you're a bit of a book, or you're a book, so it's like a phone. So I think, what I can do, for example, art, art, paint, painting, or something. Because when I do something, I don't look at the phone.

20:32 I'll be in a przykład. No dobra, i już praktycznie na podsumowanie, mam takie w sumie pytanie bardziej na prognozę w sumie. No bo tak, kiedyś Instagram, powiedzieliśmy, że Instagrama kiedyś nie było, został wprowadzony, była ewolucja. Teraz mamy to, co mamy, tak, tego Instagrama aktualnego, którego znamy. No właśnie, a teraz takie pytanie, jak myślisz, to będzie taka prognoza, jak myślisz, co może stać się z Instagramem za 10 lat? No, because Instagram was brought up, you said, about 10 years ago.

21:23 So, how much it changed over 10 years. How much it changed. What happens to you, what will happen next 10 years? It will be 20 years, right? You think, that Instagram may disappear? They may not be banned, that there will be no longer application. Or, or, or, will be done by it. What do you think? I don't know. your prognozum. I am not sure, because there was a our class, first class, and now our class was also. Instagram was Space or something, MySpace or something, like?

22:04 And it works, but people don't look at it. So Instagram, I think, I think that when you do a lot of advertising, it is a lot of people. For example, when you have other social media, who can connect and be close to your friends, your time will spend on these applications. When Instagram is doing a lot of advertising, advertising, advertising, advertising, I don't want to watch advertising all the time, because I don't watch TV on advertising, so.

22:45 Like, for me, this is Instagram, who is interested in WhatsApp and Facebook, it's not a good company. It's not a good person. And better, when it's a company, who is good for people and doesn't want to do it all the time. So, everything has... Information, how I can do it, not a hour, but three hours. The whole time is your time. And you know that it is not true. Many people are not happy. There are a few billion people who are sad. And that is from social media.

23:30 You must be the same. No, it doesn't have to be like a person who will change it, but your question is if Instagram will be on 10 years later, better not. Better not. I tell you so. I think that better not. I currently am on this detox. I also noticed that... I mean, I use Instagram for work. It's one of my contacts with people. I'm talking about my potential students and people who are watching me for content education. I'm talking about Latinx. I have two accounts. One, which I'm talking about people who speak Spanish.

24:12 And the second one is for me, which I'm talking about. I'm talking about this graphic. So I'm talking about observing. Maybe even for 10 years I can do something to do. I have 10 years left. But no, no, no, no, no. There is a link and contact. If someone wanted to learn the language or first step, there is everything. And even though, that I use Instagram, I use my own personal personal I use my own personal. But when I'm in private, I also think that I'm not good. And I think that Instagram is a good thing in itself, a good thing in business, but a good thing in terms of relationships.

25:07 Not with people in the world. So I think I think that in the future something will change. Maybe create another app, which will be similar to I don't know, everything is possible on the world. So, I'm going to conclude with this podcast. We'll see. I'll see. I'll see. So, Thank you very much, Roy. Thank you to all the listeners. Of course, I don't encourage you to watch something.
