What is this? There's no information, just a paragraph of text that contains no details. Is this HN material?

The link there might have been NSFW at some point but now it's just the trees, same as the SFW version. And obviously I want to see the NSFW stuff. :(

Christ this is idiotic. I bet they are just polling the IG API for data, probably tied to their client's username or preset hash tags. Woe be the business wonk who falls for this.

We actually aggregate more than 200 data points per seconds and run multi million on the fly aggregations to produce analytics for our clients... As with any product, some parts are idiotic, some others are not.

which gives us what? HARDCORE ANALYTICS wtf are "HARDCORE ANALYTICS"?

they're hardcore man... They use like... numbers and shit.

Is this a tool for business? is this something to help me find new content? If it's for finding content then why do I care if it's got "hardcore analytics"? SHow me pretty pictures I'll see if I sign up. If it's for business then what is it going to do for me?
