I’m sensing real Instagram burnout from friends and colleagues. Is IG a bubble that bursts? Or does the audience (user) demo just change like FB in ‘09 or so?

Yeah itll go away. Facebook is on a big fade right now. Apparently the hot thing is Tik Tok, but Im a million years old so who cares.

Personally find IG to be mostly worthless aside from interior/exterior design ideation. Otherwise it’s become worse than FB. Have two accounts so I can use one to focus on hobbies and then update the personal one very minimally.

I see the same thing. I’m curious how these companies will evolve and keep the “game” alive. At some point it feels like the curtain gets pulled back and you’re kinda like “oh, this shit really doesn’t matter does it?”.

I gave up Facebook, because I got tired of all the political bullshit that people were posting in 2016. People are so desperate to control how others, they have tantrums on social media if others don’t think the same way they do. I didn’t see one argument where people just agree to disagree.

I also don’t like how Facebook pays lip service to privacy.
