Home Industry News Marketing Is Instagram’s latest NFT expansion moving them closer towards an OnlyFans commission-based model?

Is Instagram’s latest NFT expansion moving them closer towards an OnlyFans commission-based model?

 

Last week Mark Zuckerberg announced that Meta was expanding their testing for the sale of NTFs to an additional 100 countries on Instagram and launching new integrations with Coinbase and Dapper. 

NFTs, or non-fungible tokens are one-of-a-kind items which are owned digitally by the creator, until sold to a buyer. There are no copies for sale, just a single, original piece that is ‘non fungible’.  

This means that Instagram users across Africa, Asia-Pacific, the Middle East and the Americas will be able to sell their NFTs on Instagram using the Ethereum, Polygon, and Flow blockchains by connecting their digital wallets to the app.

Sam Gormley from Osaka Labs, one of London’s leading digital marketing and activation studios says this move is set to revolutionise the way we engage with the world.

He says, “We’ve already seen social media change the way we interact with news and online content – In quite a relatively short period of time we’ve shifted from a broadcast model to a conversational one. 

This announcement by instagram heralds the beginning of a brand-new way of digesting online content, and one that is going to revolutionise the space and help clarify the grey area pertaining to ownership of online content.”

Recently, we saw news that Spain's equality ministry and the Institute of Women, released a campaign aimed at encouraging women worried about their appearance to go to the beach. In this ad, the ministry used images they sourced from Instagram, without gaining permission from the account holders.

The artist responsible for the images, ArteMapache, eventually apologised, whilst one of the models whose images were used by ArteMapache expressed the sentiment, “People would never take an image without permission from a photographer because they know they have to pay, but [this has] a bit of a loophole.”

Gormley believes the introduction of the NFT model will help combat situations like this. He explains, “I think the growth of the NFT format on platforms like Instagram will be a further evolution of the conversational digestion of content, one which will enable clearer ownership.”

He believes that rather than focusing on their ad sales going forward, Instagram will begin to shift to a commission focus. He says, “The Instagram model will move from selling ads to make money and diversify by taking commission on NFT sales similar to how Twitch, Youtube, Patreon and Onlyfans operate.”
