Will the ‘Anti-Instagram’ Blow Up Social Media?

Nora chats with Alex Ma, the CEO and co-founder at Poparazzi, an app that allows you to build your friends’ profile pages instead of your own… in other words, be your friends’ paparazzi. Alex talks about how his obsession with connection on social media led him and his brother, Austen Ma, to create something more authentic than Instagram. Poparazzi hit 5m+ downloads one year after it launched in June 2021 and shot to number 1 in the app store. This article from Exploding Topics served as some of the source material for the list of social media apps in "Bullish or Bearish."
