Welcome to this week’s top social media stories! Lions made of stock, crowded buses and a new stop-motion feature on Instagram. What caught your attention this week?
This week could have been all about the amazing new stop-motion feature that is coming to Instagram Stories. It could also have been about YouTube’s new ‘AR beauty try-on’ feature, or Google Maps which will soon let you know how crowded your commute will be.

One that was made out of stock images, themselves inspired by a graphic artist who never gave his consent… Yes, that’s where the advertising industry is at today…
