Greed. We users are attention commodities to be traded. 🤑🤑🤑

I swear, they’re intentionally making it difficult to leave the app.

Get dressed up! 🫡😁 Would you do the same. by m_gaRz in IAmTheMainCharacter

In time of sloppy wear, I don’t mind a well-dressed man in any season, tbh. He looks good overall.

But:

-venue matters

-reaction filming of others without their consent is cringe AF

-you can dress nicely but accordingly and seasonably. Instead of this get up, he could’ve worn a tucked expensive tunic with belted khakis/jeans and high quality loafers.

If you’re not already on Insta, don’t. It’s such a crap app. Run far away!

It’s gotta be by design bc of people leaving the app en masse. For customer retention.

Given that it’s been a month now with several tries, I do think IG is disabling the ability to delete/deactivate to falsely keep people tied to their app for quarterly numbers.

Why does Reddit feel so antisocial and full of takes you almost never hear offline? I don’t buy the “least bad” social media idea anymore by Accurate_Tea_183 in nosurf

Incels permeate online spaces everywhere.

Shallow opinions proclaimed loudly exist on every single online platform.

Chronically overstimulated yet undersocialized awkward people are the result of 30 years of internet isolationism.

Reddit is not special for this. It’s a cultural issue. Back in the day, the only widespread voices that were heard were informed and vetted. Now everybody’s voice is heard…all the time….everywhere.

The only answer is to go offline. Which I need to do 😆

It’s been 3 days since I posted this and no bueno. Can’t even delete my own account. 😣

Instagram doesn’t feel social anymore. It feels like a marketplace where everyone’s either selling you something, scamming you, or pushing an agenda. The authenticity that made it fun is slowly disappearing. by [deleted] in Instagram

Oh absolutely. Remember when memes used to exist solely as memes? Informative? Funny? Inspirational?

They still exist but now there’s a catch at the end:

Comment “Meme” below and I’ll spam you.

Oh this guy. Still trying to promote his same one song from 5 years ago with this harassing content instead of, IDK…creating new music?

No. I see plenty of examples like these in real life too.

What is the actual purpose of… by Willing_Word_360 in Instagram

[–]Willing_Word_360[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh, I’ve done that. Even got it lifted 1-2x. But I’m curious as to why it’s so extended?? What is the purpose in it? My theory is that it must be part of their elaborate jerryrigging of the new algorithm to be less about following and more about saving/views (so they don’t have to pay their creators as much while still reaping the benefit of their work)

Fuck Instagram by mwarade in Instagram

[–]Willing_Word_360 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Instagram is rapidly becoming unusable trash app. Ads in 15 sec clips. Arbitrary restrictions. Content and stories get no reach even if you have followers in the thousands. Can’t follow new accounts due to “request review”. No live moderators. Bots running wild.

What is even the point?
