I mostly use Instagram to follow my favorite famous people, sources of entertainment or products, or any other interests I have that happen to be there. I also don't think I've seen a thread on Instagram before, and was a bit surprised that I didn't make one sooner. Anyway, I still actually enjoy checking it out from time to time.

I also seem to notice the chances of Instagram being on people's phones almost as much as Facebook. (Which makes sense due to Facebook owning Instagram, as well as it catching on alongside Facebook anyway.)

I dig me some Instagram, i tend not to post a whole heck of a lot mostly because my life isn't very interesting lol but if you dig cat photos, the odd selfie or just the random shit I've shared whether it's gaming related, music related or something else then by all means hit it up and we'll make it mutual. http://instagram.com/thelastdisciple/

I miss when Flickr was booming, i still have my account with them but yeah.... the community for that site especially has been cobwebs. :( - also echo SnapChat being absolutely awful.

Definitely some bones to pick with Instagram, why in the hell did they have to mess with the linear photo feed? it was fine the way it was.... but i guess Facebook's gonna Facebook.

Here's my ETS counterpart account on Instagram. As I've also mentioned on the Twitter thread, I'm going to use it to follow other ETS members outside of ETS, and just for fun in general. I'm also going to mostly lurk as I've already talked more than enough on ETS. Even when I was on my personal social media account, I don't post pictures of myself or my personal life as there really isn't that much worth sharing anyway, and I'm still used to not showing myself on the Internet.

I wish i understood the algorithms on insta. On Twitter there's a consistency to what drawings i upload, they all follow a similar amount of likes and shares (and have been growing at a steady rate!)...Insta on the other hand is COMPLETELY random! It's always a tosh up if i get 2 likes or 20 for drawings, though sketchs do appear to get more, but random a drawing will just explode FOR NO REASON! A sketch from month ago just started getting ridiculous amounts of likes out of nowhere, and a (admittedly not my best work) sketch i posted this week just blow and i have no idea why...

I think i might go mad if i try to understand it...

It makes no sense at this point and the app has slowly gone to shit since Facebook took over in 2012. It seriously feels like a Facebook hub at this point.

I used to average around 60 likes a photo and now my followers say they barely ever see my posts anymore and if they do, it's literally 2 or 3 days later. I actually see your posts a lot!

there was a recent update that has fucked us "content creators" even more because they want us to pay for their advertising platform in order to get people to see our posts.

if i post a picture of my face? it shows it to SO many people. but if i post something about my music? hardly anyone sees it. it's SO FRUSTRATING. capitalism!

Unfortunately, this is the way. I remember when my feed was nothing but photos and the random stuff was so minimal. Everything is completely over-saturated at this point.

I started having a look into this and apparently it's not JUST the algorithm, you can get shadow banned if you post too many pictures with the same hashtags...fucking what?! It's an absolute cluster fuck!

I mean this explains SO much, like why my drawings will randomly do well but my film reviews just don't! Maybe i should go back to doing completely original pictures for the reviews then using the films posters.

I'd love that but I also wonder if it's too far gone. The addition of Stories was annoying but it grew on me. But the new TikTok imitation is fucking horrific. I used to troll the search page and it was actually pretty well curated to my interests. But after Reels became a thing it's completely useless. And half the Reels are just TikToks posted on IG...with the goddamn logo on it and everything. I fuckin hate it.

Oh yes i completely agree, Reels is just TikTok (and i have no time for tiktok, nothing against "the kids" but everything on there is just lip syncing or really bad comedy, i've only ever seen a half dozen that were actually OK. It's like they saw vines and just took all the least talented people from that and made a new thing!) It's possible they could separate, but we don't know how far FB had it's claws into Instas roots. FB's algorithms have made it SO difficult to get your content actually seen by anyone...but that's an issue on all the socials i've seen, even Deviant Art!

^^^ It is extremely saturated to the point of parody. I used to average about 50 to 60 likes on my photography from people I didn't know from all around the world... Now I'm lucky if I get 16. The hashtags were also more accessible and you could even see yourself getting support in real time if you wanted to edit a few.

My timeline is littered with people taking the SAME exact photo of themselves, or posting themselves with their dog. I am an avid animal lover, but ffs.
