I’m going to go against the grain here. I find Instagram very valuable as an artist. I was very late to the Instagram game, but I don’t quite understand all the friction here.

But I can’t understate how important it is to understand how algorithms work. Most social media use several algorithms in tandem. It’s not just one big one that controls an entire platform. You can use it to view what you want to see more than I think people realize. And it’s important to have boundaries and limit the amount of time. But I am not in the mindset that it’s some kind of flex to say “I don’t use it”. Some people rely on them for business, marketing, or niche groups that sadly don’t exist elsewhere.
