I Hate Instagram. Am I Alone?

Am I the only square who hates one of the most popular social media vehicles on the planet?

And it’s not just Instagram. It’s social media in general.

I deactivated, and deleted my Facebook account about 5 years ago. It was meant to be a 30 day break, but after the 30 days, I just didn’t go back.

Instagram is probably next.

It used to be this cool app where you could go to look at beautiful pictures of fabulous vacation spots and cool interior design projects, as well as keeping up with photos of friends and loved ones.

Now, Instagram is nothing more than ads that show up as every other item in my feed, scammers ‘DMing’ me for money, or asking me to become an ‘ambassador’ of some random brand or other, and twerking challenges.

I’m over it.

They say that you shouldn’t buy into what most people post on social media platforms post, and I totally believe this to be true. Most people post only the ‘good parts’ of their lives, and honestly, who wants to see posts about life’s crappy moments?

But I’m not the person who thinks that they can have the ‘life’ that others show off on social media.

I don’t buy into that nonsense.
