To think that instagram has jumped the shark?

I used to really love instagram it as a place to get inspiration, eduction or a point in the right direction to go do some research myself on various topics, but am getting bored of it.

The influencer wars (with some clearly playing the game more than others Hmm ), the woke activists who are beginning to believe their own hype (their content becoming about them and how good they are), even the naice art and design accounts that I predominately follow are beginning to be a little lacking.

AIBU to think that insta is in a death spiral? If so (because clearly I have forgotten life before it) where do people find informative and / or creative inspiration outside of it these days. Blogs seem to have died, and facebook is a non starter!

NC because well I am bored!

ONE PERSON commented on her daughter...that was all and that user was jumped on as it was vile. It's not the class war you think it.

How would you feel if this was aimed at you?

If what was aimed at me?!

Get a hobby babe

HolyMountain · 14/08/2018 17:57

Not the 'working class' issue again Hmm.

Plenty of us here from the working class.

Breadsticksandhummus · 14/08/2018 17:58

Get a hobby babe

The irony it burns.

Sarahandduck18 · 14/08/2018 17:58

Never used it?

How is it different from Pinterest?

How do you set up an (anon) account?

Is everything public?

What’s with all the hashtags?

It just seems overwhelming to me!

babe babe!!

Now we know you're not a mnetter. Grin

Chrissy Teigan is comedy gold.

Breadsticksandhummus · 14/08/2018 18:01

Oh Chrissy Teigen is absolutely fab, love her.

I like fullerfigurefullerbust too, if you are into plus size instas.

Hangingaroundtheportal · 14/08/2018 18:02

And Susie Verill is definitely worth following as well as her stories so funny! Not even in a 'I'm trying to be funny way'!

Her #boobslaps story from a couple of months ago was hilarious!

SavannahSky · 14/08/2018 18:03

Off to look up Chrissy!

Breadsticksandhummus · 14/08/2018 18:04

I unfollowed Susie after the last MN debacle as I thought her stories about the whole thing were horrible and insulting.

MistressOfTheGarter · 14/08/2018 18:04

Having just purused the Chrissy Teigan account, I have to ask how her breasts look so great when she is breastfeeding twins. Mine have never risen to the challenge again since BF DS1. In fact how does she look so great in general?

Definitely not followingGrin

Breadsticksandhummus · 14/08/2018 18:05

Well she is a model, Mistress!

She's not breastfeeding twins though, she only has the one baby.

Thanks boredy - I was mildly interested in what it’s all about but judging from all the crap on this thread that’s one lot of ‘drama’ I cannot be arsed with! Also no idea what that’s got to do with your original question 🤷🏻‍♀️

boredyboredy · 14/08/2018 18:07

aaaanddddddd..... MN are deleting posts.....

I am surprised MN havent got rid of the thread and posted instructions that instagram shall not be named EVER .

MistressOfTheGarter · 14/08/2018 18:08

oh Breadsticks. Theres a pic of her breastfeeding twins further down, or is it someone else? I am tired today, I get muddled sometimes.

SavannahSky · 14/08/2018 18:08

It's pathetic

boredyboredy · 14/08/2018 18:08

@amberLangslow - neither do I, but I guess it just reiterates my feeling that its 'jumped the shark'. Even little old me is being dragged into the drama!
