    As a 34 year old, my wider circle already killed Instagram. They post memes, news videos, and in some stories - a picture with million words on them. There already is a social media platform for this. Know what? FACEBOOK. If you’re going to use Instagram like Facebook, just use Facebook. I wish Instagram would go back to being used for just photo/short video updates and that’s it.

    Took a nice photo of your pet? Instagram. Recorded a clip on your XSX/PS5 and want to share? Facebook. Made a short video montage of clips of your recent road trip? Instagram. Took a video of your cousin’s graduation? The video is 5+ minutes so Facebook.

    I miss the intent of Instagram. There is a mood I’m in to want to see a ton of crap, and when I’m in that mood, I’d use Facebook to dig through all the updates. I liked Instagram for its simplicity. Been using Instagram since I first got my iPod Touch 4, and many of my friends in college used it as I wrote above. The same people no longer do it.

      I’m 40 and my friends use Instagram to show travel pictures and scenes of their daily lives. Guess it’s a matter of who you’re friends with, I don’t have a single meme-slinging clown there.
