Instagram has gotten to the point where I just have absolutely no interest to continue using it.

Mostly it feeds me soft porn, and my friends have kind of posted the same things over and over, which has become kind of boring. Food pics, workout pics, whatever.

It's gotten to the point where I'm just actually bored with the platform in general, not necessarily the content.

Facebook, I just have zero interest in going anywhere near it, it's so, so, so boring.

I follow aviation related accounts so I see pictures of planes on my feed. I did have to stop following hashtags because people tend to spam bikini pics there

I don't even bother with it anymore.

At least TikTok is giving me things I search for.

I have +5 years without fb so that's that.

Twitter serves its purpose for (news, articles, etc...).

Instagram will feed you more of whatever you are following or tapping.

I have noticed that if I don't use Instagram for a few days I end up with generic, lowest-common-denominator videos. Scantily clad females, bar fights, car accidents, etc.

But if I start seeking out and watching the stuff I actually like, the feed updates itself within a day or two and I get content that I actually want to watch.

I just can't be bothered seeking out "stuff I like" on Instagram anymore, mostly I've seen it before etc, just feeling like I have better things to do lately.

If I actually want to "watch" something, I open Youtube, seems to me like the content on there is 10x better.

Each to their own.

I feel exactly the same. Maybe it's just a stage in one's life?

I think I’m just bored with the platform, same format, crappy engagement from other uses etc.

It was fun for a while but yeah, not really sure it’s worth my time, or that it ever really was.
