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

Cara is popular because of it's anti ai stance. They have a detector to not allow ai images to be on the platform. Pixelfed allows it and also lack active users that are not artists.

For now.

Ai support or not it will still be aggressively monetized the moment enough users are locked in.

Fomo is a hell of a drug eh.
