instagram has the worst vibes

nowadays when you scroll on ig all you see are people pretending to be perfect and constant negativity.

What goes viral on TikTok would not stand a chance on ig reels 😭 users on instagram can be very dismissive and unfun.

Regular people have entire photoshoots to do normal day to day activities. There is a standard of perfection on there so high that people will resort to editing their faces and bodies just to fit in with whatever is getting the most likes.

I miss when the app was full of candid moments. People just posting whatever they wanted and not chasing aesthetics.

Instagram has transformed dramatically into a space where curated perfection often overshadows real-life experiences. The once casual and candid sharing platform has become a battleground for self-image and validation. Users curate their feeds to align with popular aesthetics, often resorting to extreme editing and filters to fit unrealistic standards dictated by social media trends. This pressure can lead to mental health struggles and a disconnect from reality, exacerbated by the tendency for users to only showcase their best moments. Furthermore, platforms like TikTok highlight a shift towards authenticity and spontaneity that Instagram often lacks. Users on TikTok thrive on genuine, relatable content, contrasting sharply with the over-polished images on Instagram. Understanding these trends can help users navigate their experiences on social media more mindfully, promoting sanity over superficiality. It’s crucial to foster communities that celebrate authenticity, encouraging individuals to share unfiltered moments. Campaigns like #BeReal aim to inspire users to embrace their true selves rather than curate an enviable image, advocating for a social media landscape where reality and candidness take precedence over perfection. As we engage more with these discussions, we can work towards a healthier, more authentic social media experience.

yes, I totally agree and let’s mention how you try to get engagement but all you get is a bunch of story watchers. They don’t engage. They don’t like anything. They just put they’re constantly looking first ones to view everything?

and for anyone who been on insta will know it’s not about aesthetics and posting pictures anymore it’s more video related content like reels that you have to put effort into

The worst combo to ever exist.
