Ugh!! Insta is grossssss π it's ads or old classmates from HS. So many posted their "influencer" new years eve stories, about their mlm "success" (pfft), getting married, having babies, filtered videos and pictures of baby feet and food and A E S T H E T I C artsy things.
It just feels all so fake to me, idk. Maybe I'm just a loser stoner still finding my way, but I'd rather be this than them. I can't imagine going to cool places and posting about it on a platform like that where people like, know my real name and it's all super filtered. I dont understand the appeal, who is the performance for? Idk. I'm just out of touch I think.
I only use insta for cats and some fan accounts of my favourite bands.
Here here!
The finer things in life!
Lol that's fair, if I cared about SM then perhaps I would bother to to do a mass unfollow and refollow, teaching the algorithm that I want cats. But I don't think I care enough haha I guess it's just occured to me I like getting the memes from mates because it means they saw it and thought it would make me laugh. I appreciate that I think lol.
