This is the best summary I could come up with:


While social media has its perks, it can also be a toxic wasteland crawling with hate comments, unrealistic body standards, scammers and spam bots.

As this toxicity continues to infest the digital landscape, new social platforms emerge, determined to remedy our distorted online world.

Filter-less daily photo sharing exists within other apps — BeReal, Minutiae, Locket and LiveIn — however, Anderson argues that Daylyy rivals use “gimmicky” features.

Privacy on social media has become more popular over the years, with the head of Instagram, Adam Mosseri, admitting that young users spend more time in direct messages and group chats.

“When we get to a certain user mark, bringing ads on is the main way we’ll go about monetization,” Anderson said, which mirrors moves made by Instagram and TikTok.

Anderson also used Lush as an example; the bodycare company quit social media in 2021 because it believes platforms like Instagram and Facebook aren’t providing a safe environment for users.
