I really hate Instagram and Facebook.
-
I seriously do. I hate that it feels like I have to be on the platforms. That I have to have an account. They are such huge applications that if you're not active on them, you're weird.
-
I don't enjoy going through Instagram. It feels like a chore. I only do it because of my business and my YouTube. And since I run a media production company, I need to have an online presence so clients can get to know me better. It makes sense. And it's great for that. But, my goodness... It's a bore.
-
I think Instagram is fake and I think Facebook is turning into only political posts that I have ZERO care to see...
-
The only parts I enjoy are the photos and the videos that I can create. I love taking a photo and editing it. I love shooting random clips and turning it into an entertaining video. And when I really love something, I want to share it with people. I love that I can meet people through the platforms and hang out with them in real life. I love that I can meet someone on the other side of the globe and still stay in contact with them. So that part of Facebook and Instagram, I enjoy.
-
But, I think I can truly say that if Facebook and Instagram went away forever, I wouldn't be upset. I may be one of the only people who feel this way, and that's fine. I know there are so many great things that social media has brought into all of our lives.
-
I don't think social media is going anywhere any time soon. We've become addicted to it as a society and honestly, it's too much of a moneymaker for it to just vanish. But, man... I do miss the days when it didn't run our lives as much as it does now.
