| 0:34.8 | new thing to spend money on and a couple movie reviews from Mike D. So Eddie's here. What's up? Are you going to get Instagram Plus? I don't even know what that is. I mean, I'm still hesitant to get on threads. It keeps trying to get me to get on threads. I'm like, I don't know. You don't trust it or what? I don't know if I want to do that yet. Side-eyed at Threads? What is Instagram Plus? First, can we talk threads per second? Sure. Okay, threads is just like the safer. It's YouTube kids for Twitter. Really? Well, there's Twitter. That's a safer Twitter. It's like a nicer, gentler Twitter. You know what I think it is? I think it's the way it asks. It always says, like, Bobby's on threads. Like, do you want to get on threads? If it didn't do that, I'd be like, okay, I'll give it a shot. Don't you sometimes, though, see like the little threads teases? |
| 1:27.8 | Yeah. |
| 1:44.3 | And they cut it off at the next word that you want. Yes. So you hit it and it opens it. Yes. You're kind of already on threads. No, because I can't watch that video. They'll only give me the little teaser. But if you click into it. And then it says, like, join threads. It gives me the whole black screen with click the button to join. |
| 1:46.7 | And I'm like, ooh, that's where it stops me there. |
| 1:44.4 | It's almost like when you buy something. And then it says, like, join threads. It gives me the whole black screen with click the button to join. |
| 1:46.7 | And I'm like, ooh, that's where it stops me there. |
| 1:58.5 | It's almost like when you buy something or you're going to buy something and it's like, are you sure you want to buy it? You're like, ooh, am I sure? I don't know. So your threads account already exists then. You just haven't activated it because it's the same exact account. I guess so. from Instagram. |
| 1:59.1 | I guess so. |
| 2:00.2 | There's really nothing on threads. |
| 2:03.3 | So, so what do you put on threads? |
| 2:07.3 | No, only my Instagram posts go on threads and every once and a while I'll be lured in by the teasers on Instagram. And so I click in to see and then I'll go, |
| 2:13.8 | oh, threads. And then I scroll through and it's a very wateredown, safer version of Twitter. But when I want Twitter action, like, I'm going into the alley to fight. I don't go into the alley to hang out and have a good time. Like, if you're going into the alley, you're going to the alley to fight. That's what Twitter is. Yeah, Twitter is interesting. Like, Twitter, if there's a cop in my neighborhood, I go to Twitter. Because the cops will usually kind of like update like, ooh, working a thing in this neighborhood. Stay away. |
| 2:38.3 | Twitter is the garbage can outside the house if you're doing investigating on someone. Like it's gross. But there's real stuff there. |
| 2:47.6 | Yeah. What do you? Sports. Sports and news. And then I just kind of watch fights. Just like street fights? No, between people. Just arguing. Twitter kind of sucks, but it's also awesome. So Instagram is launching Instagram Plus. So here's what you can get for $3.99 a month on Instagram Plus. Anonymous story viewing. |
