My friends started out on Instagram posting simple things about their lives, like a local pond with ducks, or a meal they made at home. Now it's like they only post the really outstanding stuff, adventure/travel or extravagant meals at high end restaurants. And they go crazy with tags, doing the dot dot dot thing followed by a tag block. While the new stuff is cool, I felt they were more relatable and more like friends when they just posted the mundane stuff which honestly makes up 90% of our lives.

This becomes a compulsion where the act of going out becomes motivated by the amount of high-value social media shareable posts.

Such a soul sucking compulsion, truly a product of modern times.
