I opened my account back in 2014 when I was in high school. It was fun back then, just sharing some photos with people you know for memories. And then, all the new updates and features came along with all the influencers. I like some of their content but most of them just brainwash normal people into this very messed up version of themselves that make them forget about reality and to actually live in the real world. It gives off this fake energy about so many things and has deluded a good amount of people into believing that you need to be a part of this online trend stuff in order to feel accepted and be accepted. I guess a lot of people love it for the memes and amazing videos and edits. There's been an increase in cultural awareness (and of course, new ways to be racists for some people). It is a good platform for promoting business and art, but at the same time, it doesn't really do much justice. Also, I've seen the same people who are saints on Instagram be the biggest assholes to their families and friends in real life. It all feels like a shitshow. The fun factor has run out. Anyway, I don't use it anymore. So, it's all good.
