I hate Instagram

[@RahiVaidya]

I thought I was the only one getting so much content that triggered me. But it doesn't just happen on instagram, it also happens on KZbin. I get right wing content recommended when I follow a bunch of queer people and left leaning content. I still don't understand how social media works. I've been uploading art content and it makes me sad that I have to make stuff that I don't really like just to get more views. My goal was to get more followers and views to start selling art commissions but I don't really get how Instagram or tiktok work, so I don't know how to grow my accounts. Hope things get better, Pete. Wishing you the best ❤

I live with with my family, and they are quite horrible kind of peoples, and often Tiktok, insta,fb, yt track what they look on their phones, and suggest me, my dad looks at horrible things on Tiktok for example ,and when i open tiktok on my PC, i literarly get the worst things in my feed for no reason, even if im my own account. So maybe you might have someone using same Internet as you, other than that , the algorytm is extremly shit, honestly i'm tired how our data is stolen. I keep getting as recomanded stuff that i don't care of, and in same time peoples get recomanded my stuff which they might not care of, idk how this work anymore. Also the Instagram putting randoms in your feed is quite annoying ,i remember when i made my Insta fresh, it only show who i follow, now there is 99% randoms, 1% who i follow.

[@EchoTense01]

Exactly, I only use instagram to message my online friends and post random art and ignore comments. ( difficult but starting to ignore more often since it’s so infuriating. )

Yea i agree tbh instagram is pretty much a negative place And SAME i get the reels which makes me sad or either very angry and when i look at the comments they make me more angry and leading to me fighting with random people online i think its very bad for my mental health so i uninstall instagram in btw and trying not to fight people in the comments lmao

[@therefore_i_em_]

Had to delete insta for this same reason- fighting with internet strangers is such a waste of time, and i agree with Pete when he says social media is turning into pure rage bait content just to get people emotional and addicted.

[@onemore4567]

I deleted insta for this very reason for 4 years

[@SuitedSkaterLion]

I sadly can't delete my insta cause i post here Story with my pets n outfits i combo, and i have some peoples here that don't follow the Yt, but the thing is pretty much everywhere you go and is social platform you will meet negative peoples, example on KZbin i had random person messaging me telling me to Kill msefl and quit acting rich. Some person got to My KZbin and started to insult me saying to quit i'm becoming a nothing, and that i should djust quit ,and not eve edit anymore, some said i'm cringe, i had bad issues every other platform ,i know i have specific issues, but i saw there are a small hand of peoples that like what i do, even if 99% of hate me, i try to appreciate the 1%.. Also i deleted my discord for awhile for the reason that that place was so toxic, and i couldn't stand specific peoples. But the only thing that we can do is to avoid the negativity and focus on the positivity. Honestly i hit all the time low this year, i thought making my self public and sharing my life and having fun will be easy, instead i regret, and become depressed, but i try to do my best to not let go. Is sad that now days everyone can have an "opinion" which means, they can easly insult you, before i remember when Internet wasan't on everyone's house, there was not that many trolls, and disturbing peoples.. To not mention how unfair EVERYTHING is toward peoples that are Creators, and are new. You are FORCED to learn to be an actor.

[@sonasebastian1104]

Ur video randomly appeared on my feed. Love it

[@xavtrial3382]

yeah instagram is full of toxic trolls, plus the meta is now allowing for people to call lgbtqia+ mentaly ill, we need a new app, tiktok was ok, insta is just becoming as bad as facebook and x

[@xavtrial3382]

I love your content Pete! I've been following you for a while and I love seeing your progress and videos about fitness and horses! Truly I hope you can rest and take a break from that app bc it is toxic, ❤ look out for yourself!

[@EmilyRivera-ka1i]

Instagram is a bad place for mental health in general; sorry you have to deal with its cruddy algorithm :(

[@sionnach9946]

I put a block on it so I can only unlock a certain number of times for a certain amount of time, and I have to put in the reason why I'm opening it and it's been really effective but it also means Im on it for ten minutes and send people a bunch of things and then never respond

[@7TwistedAshes]

What's the app called? I wanna try using it.

[@Pete-the-neat]

That's awesome 😎 fortunately my phone has app timers but that sounds cool too

[@Gremlin_Goods]

Theres lots of people who agree with this perspective, thank you for sharing.

[@Cloudyy9900]

Exactly!
