So who is on instagram??

[east or bust]

It’s really bad. Blows my mind there is no option to only see posts from those you follow.

Completely agree.

[Savicchini]

the targeted ads have gotten ridiculous

I finally had enough and deleted my account

I finally had enough and deleted my account

If I didn't need to keep some sort of presence for professional reasons I'd have deleted FB/IG long ago. It's gotten so bad, and they clearly don't care about the users, just the growth. What's wild is you see accounts with 10's of thousands of followers getting less than 100 likes on their stuff because IG doesn't show it to their followers.

I have a business account and I get message like "Want more people to see this? Boost your post." Gives off real mob vibes. "Nice post you got there. Would be a shame if something happened to it."

Ha. That is so true.

[Buster Highmen]

I deleted IG from the phone some time ago since they were skimming contact info.
But I still use the PC IG interface.

Never had Fecebook

Been IG free for 3 years now. Couldn't be happier. Catching up with people face to face or dare I say "on the phone" is my preference. "If the product is free, then you are the product."

I joined IG solely to follow the activities of Percy the cat in Smithers.

I’ve noticed some pretty amazing ultra-narcissistic trends on IG (and other social media) these days that are so bizarre and crazy:

-people doing chats to their followers, talking at the phone WHILE driving. Like going on and on about something, but looking more at the camera to the side than straight ahead at the road! Pretty mindboggling.

-Hiking/mtn biking/skinning footage where the person is solo but feels the need to create better content (to mix later with POV content). They go to one spot, set up the phone recording them there with a tripod, then go back down a trail a ways, turn around and then hike/bike/skin back up to the camera. Then do it all over again at other spot further along the trek.
I’ve seen people do this while on the trail live and it’s so goddamn cringe.

I feel like we are living in the weirdest time ever.

[MakersTeleMark]

There is plenty of IG footage that has been made on solo missions that never made it to the gram because the person died before they got back to the TH to upload. I know this for a fact.

Has anyone been following the Hawk Tua bullshit? That whore now has a reality show in the works. Our society is so fucked up and bizarre haha.

[grinch]

Dood she just a nice country girl with a sense of humour. Reality show might ruin her but as of now i think shes just a young girl out having fun with her friends. You one of those incel dipshits or something?

Huh?

[grinch]

You call her a whore because shes cute and funny

I’m curious: do you all still use social media (FB, Twitter, and IG) often these days or are you kinda just done with it?

[east or bust]

I’ve had FB and IG pretty much since each was developed. Posting wise, very inactive on both.

I’d like to get back to posting on IG, just as a place to photo dump, but the app has strayed so far from its intended purpose that it’s hard to get motivated/justify it. Haven’t posted in almost 2 years.

I really do love sharing photography but ever since the IG algorithm changed it’s not really about that. It’s so easy for friend’s posts to get lost in the fray of BS.

I love sharing photography too. Are there any other platforms good for that?

[yeahman]

I follow at least a dozen photographers on Instagram, pros and amateurs. Seems to work fine for them as a platform to show their work.

[The SnowShow]

Has anyone else here just cut the social media cord?

[jackstraw]

I cut Zuck stuff a long time ago now. I was still on, not posting, twitter until musky bought, then ditched that too. I have this place, Strava, YouTube...not that the latter two really count as social I suppose.

Random question for you all but would you be proud of your kid if they became an “influencer”? It seems so many kids today don’t want to have any semblance of a career in something and just want to be paid to post about products. Seems so vapid even if they somehow can pay the bills.
