Vero is just another pretty data silo, isn't it? No lostfocus.de

@lostfocus but wait, there’s more...
@lostfocus Yeah, and as you mentioned, a terribly built one at that.
@mikehaynes I don't quite get why it is suddenly such a thing.
@lostfocus Given the strange timing of people signing up all at once, I would have to believe that Vero very recently threw money at some major IG users to advertise which got people to suddenly take notice of it.
@mikehaynes Sounds like a reasonable theory.
@mikehaynes Going with word-of-mouth in general. I've seen a lot of talk of Vero here and on Twitter, though not much (if any) on IG.
@lostfocus Maybe a window of time that worked strangely in IG's non-chronological presentation and I didn't get on during that time. Plus, they could have found it out and adjusted their algorithm in there somewhere. MH-ONiB
@Sylari That's interesting. Most of the mentions of Vero I've seen have been artists on IG wanting to jump ship. It's really all about who you follow.
@mikehaynes That sounds like what I saw on Twitter. Yes, who you follow. Here, just meta discussion, not really seeing anyone use it or drop it -- just that others have.
