Key points:

  • Cara's Rapid Growth: The app gained 600,000 users in a week

  • Artists Leaving Instagram: The controversy around Instagram using images to train AI led many artists to seek an alternative

  • Cara's Features: The app is designed specifically for artists and offers a 'Portfolio' feature. Users can tag fields, mediums, project types, categories, and software used to create their work

  • While Cara has grown quickly, it is still tiny compared to Instagram's massive user base of two billion.

  • Glaze Integration: Cara is working on integrating Glaze directly in the app to provide users with an easy way to protect their work from be used by any AI

What is their monetisation plan? Currently they don't seem to have anything other than donations?

You'll have to ask the company that eventually buys them out!

I did and they said selling user data, promoting certain content, targeted ads, superchats, and a checkmark thing that costs five dollars a month that only 4 people get.
