It's such a weird site, where it feels like the whole purpose is to make you feel like everyone else is living a better life.
However, it seems to be totally populated by bots, recirculating other photos.
I'm currently posting all my pics of the Florida theme parks, not because I want people to be jealous of my holiday, but because I like seeing pics of roller coasters and stuff, so figured others would too.
I'm hashtagging the pics to make them easier for people to find, but each and every one gets at least one bot saying "DM pic".
Then I'm getting tagged saying I can buy a certain amount of followers, but what's the point in that?
What's the difference between 0 human followers and 500 robot followers?
It's just this self-promoting circle that needs you to constantly provide content or you'll lose followers.
As it is, I think I've gained 1 human follower, but I really like their pics of coasters too, so happy just keeping things as human as possible.
So yeah, it's this weird narcissistic site of recycled content!

Facebook and Instagram are sadly two essential tools for my business, I wish I could operate without social media but unfortunately it’s the best way to reach my customer base. Facebook is the biggest wind up, with each post it’ll tell you if you are reaching so many % above your average or below, and it’s often below which makes you feel ****ty about the work you’re putting in to posting. Of course it’s all a ruse to get you to cough up for paid promotion, which in my experience brings next to zero added benefit. At least with Instagram I was able to switch to a non business account so that I’m not bombarded with stats, but I agree about all the complaints above.
