YES! So much this! I want Instagram to be the social network of superb images/very short videos. I just HATE that now there's an extra tab at the top for stories and such. Why ruin an app that was doing its job so fucking well?

I don't think I've had a single friend use a Facebook story ever

I used it once then realised any responses I got were sent as a context-less Facebook message. If you click "Haha" in response to someone's story it sends the literal string "Haha" as a message to that user.

Agree completely, facebook "stories" feels cheap and forced. My anecdotal data point, is that most people I know (my age twenty somethings, younger, and even parent's age) enjoy using snapchat, partially due to the regular and fun updates to the computer vision / AR filters. And that very few people communicate with fb stories or use it aside from promotion (they run a business, or are a model, etc)
I'd be interested in hearing if anyone else absolutely hates this new stories thing Facebook is pinching from Snapchat.
Every damn time I pull down (Messenger on iOS) to reload the conversation list I end up at the damn camera. That's not how literally every other app works.
Now Facebook (iOS app) has updated and it feels like whenever I accidentally drag my thumb slightly in a non-specific direction across the screen the damn camera opens there too.
Bring on the next social network. This one's getting all gross and gooey.
