I forgot how satisfying it is to read an intelligent "Boomer Style" (lol) blog post while enjoying a series of quality photos at a reasonable size :)
Completely agree with what you said about Instagram, and loved how you summarized it: "capitalism-driven mindless consumption". I had not posted on Instagram for a year or two prior, so when I returned I was seriously disappointed at how it was restructured. I thought it would be something I could build upon, but it seems to really be catering to already established accounts, while almost completely dismissing the smaller ones.
Haha thanks so much! I find short form posts to be much more approachable and digestible.
I honestly think the current Instagram algorithm only benefits Instagram and content consumers. There's no predictability for creators (even established accounts) and when you post you're just spinning the roulette, hoping the algorithm carries your post. Consumers get fed viral content hand picked by Instagram so they stay on the platform and Instagram farms ad revenue. Genius, but kind of a toxic relationship...
