  • I was a bit heated before, but you’re right it wasn’t bad in the beginning. But for myself, I ended up using it too much, to the point where I essentially planned out my weekends so I had things to post.

    I guess you could say it was some ego-driven nonsense that motivated me to always be online and always having something new and fresh to show and always one upping myself to be bigger and better and bolder photos. But all of that burned me out. And in the end it was all so superficial 90% of the time.

    Truthfully, eventually at some point, it just became depressing scrolling endlessly and seeing the best photos any photographer could want. It was just too much. That’s not entirely Insta’s fault, but also on me for not setting any limits or boundaries. But since uninstalling, my mental health went up noticeably quickly and I never looked back to use it because it serves no need for me.
