I wish IG would have just gone all in on what they were the best at. The damage happened when they wanted to be everything for everyone. Great video Jack!
VSCO should really try to take advantage of this because I think if they tried to market the app towards more people and associated less with the "VSCO girl" stereotype, they could become a viable replacement for instagram.
Lol vsco is and always has been incredibly basic and lacks any fun or interesting features. They would never be able to grow much or innovate. Competition is definitely needed though.
Just got off my Tik Tok binge and something clicked to me. I think the reason why Instagram’s sole purpose of only being a visual, photographic platform has become tired is literally because of that. Sure, it’s great to see artsy photography and pretty ig models but that’s literally it. It’s surface-level content that struggles to connect with its users. I go on Twitter to hear about people’s days, peoples wins, people’s losses - it’s what makes it so funny because you get glimpses of other people’s lives that isn’t to the degree of perfection IG tries to showcase. You learn about the INDIVIDUAL on Twitter, not just seeing a whole feed of their pretty faces and perfect bodies. Same with Tik Tok. Everytime I go on it, I learn about art, I learn about videography, I learn about a city’s history, I learn about psychology. The people that are on Tik Tok (other than the tik tok stars and dancers) are genuinely passionate people. I think we all just crave a sense of connection and hearing about what people love is what we take more interest in rather than some photo dump of your “seemingly” perfect trip to Europe. Collectively, we all just want something deeper. We’ve been deprived for connection for a whole year and Twitter and Tik Tok users emulate that by sharing their thoughts and viewpoints that we all connect with. EDIT: Not to mention that IG is literally just advertisement after advertisement, which doesn’t help their superficial purpose. Whereas we probably let ads slide on Tik Tok because the content that follows is something that adds value to our lives.
Okay, I've been following your channel since you had 1k subs and it's crazy seeing your latest videos blowing up just like that. Honestly, well done Jack, you're producing the best content out there NO 🧢
Wow you’ve gotten so many followers! I started watching you for a few months and you’ve gone from around 11k to over 34! I’m really happy for you keep up the good work!!!!!
I never comment on anything on yt but I have to give you props for the quality of your videos, it’s really amazing! Keep going, you are doing a great job with giving real value to your audience!!
I randomly came across your channel via RUclips shorts, and I have already been sucked into your content. You give off strong VSauce vibes but in a more modern, technological way which I really like. Plus that editing is top tier. Anyways, thank you for the entertainment!
Dude your editing is dope great content, I don't even use Tik Tok but I watched the whole video purely because of your editing and presentation style. Big ups man you can truly tell a story.
For me Instagram is just a place where I can communicate with my fans and people I just met. Other than posting I don't do so much because of its algorithm. My followers aren't seeing my content and that's frustrating.
I have found your channel for a couple of weeks and man i love the way to film and edit the videos, I think the documentary type of videos will take over the RUclips soon enough.
True!! Tho I would say that Instagram helps a lot of artists collaborating and getting their own art discovered honestly as in my experience and for that kind of content Instagram is clearly underrated!! Loved this video, Jack!! Can't wait for another!!
Gave you a like because I went off Instagram multiple times and each time I come back, the feeling is off like you said so I’ve stopped using it altogether. It’s just so fake. I think everyone will realise it soon enough that Instagram is the worst app for mental health. If I wanted aesthetic photos, I’d just go buy a magazine or look on Pinterest because at least the photoshoots there are professionally done(for magazines), and there’s a meaningful story there more often than not(on Pinterest, it inspires you as well as lets you learn things, I also use the images on there as references for my art since I’m able to pin them into different albums). Anyways, great vid! I don’t think IG will die just yet, because there ARE some authentic accounts on there which help to inspire some minorities, help people ban together as the comments section is a great place to discuss(if the influencers don’t have RUclips already). The app also helps to deconstruct beauty standards and diversify the world as many people of different ethnicities post their pics and can become influencers.
Btw, Instagram removing the like count has nothing to do with mental health, even if they cover it with that. They removed likes to make it harder for companies to do influencer marketing, because instagram earns no money if an ad deal is made between influencer & company. By removing likes companies can’t judge which influencer is truly popular (big follower count is not enough anymore). This way they are more likely to buy ads from instagram directly, cutting out the middleman and generating ad revenue.
I think that Instagram is too bloated at this point. If it were to get rid of all the excess features, and just have posts and stories, I would like it better. It keeps trying to be something it's not.
I honestly can't believe that you have less than 5 million subscribers. The quality of all your videos is way above average, especially for your age and considering the fact you don't have a whole team and very expensive equipment. Even years ago, you can see that you really put the effort into your videos. As I said, I'm honestly shocked that you have anything under 5 million subs. Keep on the great work buddy and I'm 100% sure that you'll be one of the biggest channels in your niche within a few years!
I do not use instagram because it’s burning my brain. I have deleted all social media from a month and i really feel better! I only use RUclips, but the difference in my screen time is incredibly good 😀.
I haven't been on TikTok for long, but one thing I've noticed it has that Instagram lacks is the "Duet" feature: the ability to interact with content and create something new. Instagram feels more like "Show-n-Tell" rather than a conversation; you can comment, but that level of interaction can only go so far. 2020 has kind of proven to me that, at least in my case, I would much rather interact with a photo or video rather than just share and comment. Also, I have a feeling that as 5G becomes more commonplace we'll start to see changes to what (and how) we share on social media. Soon, the ability to share and interact with VR/AR photos and videos will be just as easy as it is right now for 2-dimensional photos and videos.
"Think about it"... VSauce influence, I see it in the editing as well. Very interesting, cuz deep dives on social media is very different from VSauce's formula, but nice recipe and well executed.
I’ve been building a very small audience on Instagram. And it’s really easy, so I feel like Instagram is fine. Atleast for the short term. It’s not like you can’t create for several media’s. At least as a promo for a yt channel. So I’ll start working on other socials, and eventually move away.
I feel like this is what type of content Vsauce would make if he was a tech youtuber aswell, this guy took everything I love about tech and Vsauce-like videos and he fused all the good parts together. Great job man!
Wait, Instagram is like a portfolio. Look at beeple, he is the parade example of what Instagram is for. It's not gonna die. It's just not as "hot" as TikTok.
I don’t think it will die either, I just don’t think it’s a stable way to become big off anymore. You have to use other platforms to funnel people to it. Beeple has been in the art game for years, makes politically/ shocking art and became even bigger with his NFT art push in August. but some no name artist who is just starting out would probably find better success on other platforms first. Not saying they shouldn’t have IG, it can look professional for artists, but IG is super bloated right now.
Did anyone discovered this guy and went back on his chanele to be surprized to hear how his voic dramaticly changed ? I mean wow ... Good job man keep it up
I don't have or use Instagram anymore. To be honest, I think Instagram is growing like hell of fast. Yes, I do believe maybe some day in the future a lot people & famouse celebrites will or might stop using Instagram. Just remember what happen to MySpace. All sudden Facebook blew up.
yikes instagram for kids is a terrible idea... sounds like it'll just allow easier access for cyberbullying and predators :/ also, love your content jack!! keep it up :) it's really nice to see you grow
Every social media seems to start declining after about one decade. Except of course RUclips, which isn't really a typical "social media" platform 😁
RUclips is the GOAT
nah youtube is a social media too, people post their vlogs and all sorts of aspects about their life on here as well
For RUclips, it seems to be more that the creators decline after a decade than the platform itself.

@@ethanmingolelli2530That's why variety is needed, anyone would get bored of the same content for 10 years straight
Your editing is unbelievable.
Agreed. The editing is on point
absolute legend Jack!
Yessir
FROM CELEBRITIES TO you. That hurts bro

@@XEVANSAWYER the video is unable no-sensed
I wish IG would have just gone all in on what they were the best at. The damage happened when they wanted to be everything for everyone.
Great video Jack!
The world record of being the most underrated channel goes to...
Jack Gordon
Thanks but just so you know it's really Captain Disillusion. I'll take an honorable mention though 🙌
@@JackGordon come on. We can agree that your channel is underrated. Anyways, keep up the good work, keep grinding. You're doing well!
@@JackGordon he has millions of subs tho?
It’s honestly shocking that this guy only has 35k he definitely deserves 10mill
VSCO should really try to take advantage of this because I think if they tried to market the app towards more people and associated less with the "VSCO girl" stereotype, they could become a viable replacement for instagram.
VSCO AIN'T FREE!! >:I

That 3:35 distortion was sick!
I wanna say, I was a Jack Gordon subscriber before he had 5 million subs
You are a genius
This video is RUclips best practices in 6 minutes
The magic at 2:16 was by far the hardest part of the video.
Yeah Jack!!!
Damn thats some insane attention to detail. Keep it up Jack!
The transition at 3:00 was magic right there
Holy shit that was a good trick dude, looked really clean!

Wow you’ve gotten so many followers! I started watching you for a few months and you’ve gone from around 11k to over 34! I’m really happy for you keep up the good work!!!!!
He’s almost at 100k :-)
I love all your videos Jack. The amount of effort you put into your videos is astonishing
I never comment on anything on yt but I have to give you props for the quality of your videos, it’s really amazing! Keep going, you are doing a great job with giving real value to your audience!!
jack is so underrated- his channel needs to blow up.
You really improved a lot your editing here, love those vsauce style Segways i really hope the best for you man

Glad I can say I'm a day 1 Jack Gordon fan. Keep up the quality content, this will definitely be your full time job.
i've said it once and i'll say it again....the content quality on this channel is unreal. good stuff dude
Your content is literally insane, Jack!
You have a future here. guaranteed. 💪
For me Instagram is just a place where I can communicate with my fans and people I just met. Other than posting I don't do so much because of its algorithm. My followers aren't seeing my content and that's frustrating.
YOUR EDITING IS INSPIRING ME SO HARD RIGHT NOW IM GLAD I FOUND YOUR CHANNEL THANK YOU FOR SHARING YOUR TALENTS
These are such high quality videos it’s so weird that you have under 40k It’s weird
This was a great analysis of their problem. Kudos for laying it out so clearly and concisely.
Also your filming and color grading are top notch!
I'm really surprised ur channel hasn't skyrocketed. Great content, scrip, and editing🤘🍕
I was super excited when you first announced with this video - wasn’t disappointed!
Fire video man! The evolution of all these social media sites are crazy 🔥💯
why is this guy so underrated, interesting videos, good editing like wow
thats what i thought when i first discovered him, i think bc not all videos of him are interesting 🤷♀️
@@ello.5081 people have different tastes i guess, i personally find him interesting
His editing is so fire!
I’m so happy you are growing!!
dude your videos are crazy good. Your character is so engaging too.
i love this guy, the way he makes videos is awesome and I'm engaged the entire time
Agreed!
Love the gimmick when you said "photos distort reality (more than videos)"... clever one you are!
I have found your channel for a couple of weeks and man i love the way to film and edit the videos, I think the documentary type of videos will take over the RUclips soon enough.
Bruh I clicked on this video and got an INSTAGRAM AD
Got an Instagram ad at the start
You editing is absurd man. Been seeing your content recommended more and more. Keep going!
The editing is incredible. Great job!
True!! Tho I would say that Instagram helps a lot of artists collaborating and getting their own art discovered honestly as in my experience and for that kind of content Instagram is clearly underrated!! Loved this video, Jack!! Can't wait for another!!
Okay Jack, this video got me subbing, the amount of information and the strucutre of delivery is amazing. I like your style!
Kid you’re really smart. Love the new videos you’re making. 5 points to gryffindor!

Dude your videos are just purely amazing! Keep up the good work man🙌🏼

One of the reasons why Instagram is not dead yet it the fact that you are guaranteed views unlike Tiktok, it’s good for business
Bro. You're really good at this. Just finished my doctorate and am about to put real time into my YT and TikTok. Nice!
yo this channel deserves more
such great content quality yet only 78k subs? youtube has done this man injustice :/ I wish you get popular soon
The best RUclipsr ever. 🤩🤩 love all your videos
This guy is addictive ! I am happy after along time to find this Chanel on my algorithm ✌️

Loving your videos mate, I don’t get how you don’t have millions of subs already. Keep up the good work!
This guy definitely deserves more subs.
it hurts to see you still be so underrated. keep up the good work.
Production quality is million subscribers level, lack of appreciation is deppressing
Seriously... one of the best channels on RUclips!
"Think about it"... VSauce influence, I see it in the editing as well. Very interesting, cuz deep dives on social media is very different from VSauce's formula, but nice recipe and well executed.
Your content is out of this world, man. Keep it up!!

U are the most underrated channel on RUclips

You are still underrated and that's a fact.
Absolute mad man, you put a lot of effort into your videos and you need a bigger following💎
My Prediction is that you will blow up and reach 1,000,000 subs by 2022!
Love the videos Jack!

How on earth this lad doesn't have 1M subscribers yet? Such great content and fantastic video editing skills
Deff a slept on channel amazing
Man, you have such an interesting channel. Your speaking style is so reminiscent of VSauce-I love how you’ve adopted his style to your own niche!
We were here before Jack blew up!!
Most underrated RUclips channel!!!
Jo this video is amazing jack🔥
You got me excited with that thing dying. Well played, Sir.

I think Instagram is mainly useful for artists & photographers alike.
Bro, why do you only have 34k subs?!- you deserve a couple hundred k
wow your videos of high quality. great script, execution, editing and the audio is consistent throughout.
You deserve way more subscribers!!
I just stumbled across your channel, and was instantly hooked by your content!
