When I open the app now, it’s always shorts about celebrity’s talking about rappers talking about athletes or whatever. It has no value what so ever. I think most of us also know, that the whole being a KZbinr persona has changed the way videos are made in here. Everything is fast editing with annoying effects and sound bits. Even great content providers fall under this way of exposing their videos. Plus, it’s way to complicated to say “ not interested” in something. Why isn’t it a three dot menu option anytime on any video. And why is there not a “ remove from algorithm completely” or just turn off algorithm option. People would love it.

I keep saying social media has made it more difficult for folks to communicate in real life. Back in the day aol and MySpace didn’t even do this, it allowed us to express our thoughts and creativity. Yeah MySpace had the whole popular friends thing but it wasn’t nearly as bad as Instagram. We still knew how to interact with one another offline. Now, even getting a text back from a friend is considered a chore

When I sit in the canteen at lunch, all you see is people scrolling through their social media feed. This has been happening for several years, in several differnet companies. Sam e thing on the bus, at the gym... I appreciate being left alone, but I know that people are sometimes discussing you behind your back: I checked out some of my colleagues' facebook accounts, which were public, and they were bad mouthing me...

[@TheRealNintendoKid]

Myspace was the beginning of this bullshit though... Before that the only people who had personal webpages were businesses or nerdy losers talking about anime and videogames all day long, or people with too much time on their hands and an obsession with aliens or their pet dog or some shit. Then suddenly one day it became the cool trendy thing to have your own page where you post pictures of the spaghetti you ate for dinner and it just blew the fuck up from there over the last approximately 20 years for whatever reason.

I deleted Instagram a few months ago after deleting FB last year. Not gonna lie, it's not an easy move to make, especially living in LA where meeting new people often leads you to be asked "What's your IG?" However, if you can manage to pull yourself away and stay away, it does lead to increased productivity and improved mental health, or at least it did for me. I finally deleted Twitter a month ago, which was the social media I had had for the longest period of time. It's not easy, but it's ultimately rewarding, and the people who really matter in your life will probably already have your number and email, and be OK with using those to get in touch with you.

I was addicted to social medias when I was like 12-14. It completely destroyed my health, both mentally and physically. I felt like they were telling me I was ugly, overweight, I had to be "sexier" so I stopped eating, massaged my face everynight. No matter how hard I tried, of course the shape of my facial bones would never change, but I was still growing, so I thought touching and press my face hard every day would make myself look more like a "caucasian face" Because of this my face looked swollen every day. I was of average weight, but to lose weight I started buying and taking some unreliable pills on the Internet. I dyed my hair, applied lipstick, and put on eyelashes. But I didn't look like an influencer yet, so at 13 years old I was already researching and saving up for a plastic surgeon near me. I don't know what I would be doing now if my grandmother hadn't noticed something was wrong and forced me to talk about toxicity of social media and how perfect I was.

Every picture is so edited and touched on that almost nothing is authentic on there. Instagram has completely ruined modern dating standards as we know it and everyone is lusting after a fake lifestyle.

When I go to cool places, for example I went to Joshua Tree national park for my anniversary a last weekend and I didn’t feel the urge to take pics that were “ig worthy” which reduces so much anxiety and I can just live in the moment when I’m out and about creating memories and taking pics that I actually want to remember and possibly put in a scrapbook for my future kids, not for my 2k followers (mostly random guys that I don’t know) to see and compliment me on.. I just feel really great. It’s a huge confidence boost knowing I made the decision to get out of that rut. Lost a lot of friends/acquaintances in the process too which I’m actually happy about because now I talk to and hangout with my family that actually cares about me and the 1 friend that makes an effort to check up on me to see how I’m doing.

I don’t understand how the executives at Facebook live with themselves knowing what they’re doing to us. Dividing our society further leads to horrible outcomes and I can’t believe they understand how serious it is but don’t care anyway.

This is so fucking true. Barely back in 1st grade I was the only one who never used any social media, I disliked the whole idea of sharing my life with others randomly, so I never used anything other than early Facebook for basic online games that kept your progress through it. Now years later, I'm still glad I never got into any bs that the mainstream media wants me to

[@bazzfromthebackground3696]

I only use YT for videos. I'm not any of the other socmed sites. I find them like poison because of the effect and behaviours they have had on my friends. I'm in the Philippines where the level of socmed addiction is INSANE. Friends meeting in parks or at a restaurant are ALL ON THEIR PHONES. I saw the meal arrive at a groups table and this one girl hastily told the others not to start eating as she wanted pics of the food on clean plates. Even while they eat they have their phones in one hand. Thumb frantically scrolling, a fried chicken in the other. Celeb worship is a religion here. People send iPhonee to celebs. They watch mindless streams on FB and gift "stars". It's become a hell and I can't wait to move to Japan to a small town away from this madness. Great video sir!

[@ankokunokayoubi]

At first time using Instagram, it was a photography-driven focusing in sharing beautiful side of our daily lives. Surely there are many people who opt for selfies instead, but making people engaged in photography and focusing on beauty in life was an ingenious idea that will be carried to the other platforms.

[@chrisamies2141]

Most of my IG feed is photos from various parts of the world, or artwork. It's possible to avoid the influencer nonsense.

The fact that Instagram's messaging features are so limited is probably so that Facebook Messenger stays at the top of all messaging apps.

When most of my classmates had phones and were on social media, I felt left out. When I got into college, I was stuck with social media and feeling hopeless.

It's just sad that others (including my s/o) don't see the point you're trying to make sometimes...

I once met a girl who was full of herself for being a insta model, she even rejected guys for not being on her "level". For whatever reason she started to talk to me and asked me if i was an influencer or something in social media. I just laughed at her shallow aproach to me and just waved her off and told her that she was not on my level, because i am the commanding officer of outer heaven and i will be causing the zanzibarland disturbance.

Man instagram just isn't what it used to be. I remember when I started posting art around 2016 I would always get some likes from strangers on my posts. I made a lot of mutual followings with other artists that way. But nowadays I feel like my stuff gets rarely seen by anyone. I pretty much only get engagement from people that already follow me. It's at the point where I question if I should even bother using tags on my posts.

Social media at it worst is a vulgar display of capitalism. The adverts prey on our insecurities and spam us with terminology that becomes an identity. We then try to buy our way out of the "problem" that social media has created. As a manman you are constantly inundated with adverts on hair, ED or muscle gain. Now one of my friends has travelled half the world to have a hair transplant 🤦🏻‍♂️ It's even worse for girls.

I started instagram when it first came out and was centered around photography. I bought an old film camera and took photos around my town and started liking it a lot. From there I bought a DSLR and kind of naturally progressed into making videos. I got a couple jobs editing and filming commercials for local businesses and it kinda all started from IG. I deleted the app a little over a year ago after realizing I was mindlessly scrolling without getting anything out of it (tbh I only cared about memes and none were original on instagram lol). But through the years I kept my account a photography account and stuck to my roots.

His Fightclub video was a breath of fresh air for example.
