    Do you use Instagram?

    Hello! I wonder how many people here use Insta If you are among them, explain why have you created an account? In addition, why do you think some people have so many followers?

    I use it for my internet projects, if the project has a visual component. I've gotten most of my audience from instagram.

    Anything visual is good, like if you're a pretty girl. (which i'm not)

    Nah, it's for women tbh.

    Nothing wrong with that either.

    Nope, seems like another social media tool that was never designed to accomodate how it's currently used.

    Nope. Its owned by Facebook. I have some issues with the way Facebook conducts business, especially how it handles data. The idea of Instagram is fine though. Culture and owner though...I'll pass.

    No... unless someone can tell me why I need to? I don't see it's purpose outside of another social media vanity project like twitter and Facebook.

    I have an account, but I hardly ever use it. I mostly created it for my pictures from shows I've played, but i'm really bad at uploading anything, so my page is pretty empty.

    I only use it for work. Lately very few clients have had interest in it though.

    No, it doesn't appeal to me in any way.

    Yes, but only because it allows me keep in touch with individuals I befriended through our shared interest of cars, specifically Mustangs. So we swap pics and build ideas through that.

    I'm on instagram due to well, sorta have to new a days. I only really used it to comment and look at pictures from friends and family.
    FOMO: "Fear Of Missing Out", also commonly known as people with a mental issue of managing time and activities, many expecting others to fit into their schedule so they don't miss out on things to come. If FOMO becomes a problem for you, do seek help, it can be a very unhealthy lifestyle..

    Hey! Long time lurker, decided to log in again just for this topic..

    I do infact use Instagram, i use it as a promotion tool tho. I'm a beginning Skydiver and i use it to promote myself and the sport.
    The reason for that is simple, in my country (Holland) the sport itself is really unknown and there is a nasty stigma on it. The video's/picture's i post are realistic compared to the Youtube basejump stuff you find!

    Questions? ASK!

    That person is just so insecure about himself so he needs to put down everyone, just so he can feel more important.

    I had one when Instagram released like 7 years ago but I deleted it now. It's useless for me.

    It's less about something being "for kids" and more about a technology that us older folks didn't grow up with. You see a much higher rate of adoption for social media with the younger generations.

    I'm older than him, and from a different part of the world, but I can say with some confidence that many men my age aren't comfortable with "selfie culture" or what we consider to be over-sharing. It's just a generational difference, nothing negative about it.

    He is suggesting it has to do with an overall lack of maturity, one that someone at least 31 should be long past.

    Used to. Until they changed the algorithm and it now shows stuff in a stupid fucking order. Like a picture from 8 days ago from someone I rarely liked will be the second or third thing on a scroll down. It’s just annoying to me that it’s not newest photos from people I follow
    People working 2 jobs in the US (at least one part-time) - 7.8 Million (Roughly 4.9% of the workforce)

    People working 2 full-time jobs in the US - 360,000 (0.2% of the workforce)

    Average time worked weekly by the US Workforce - 34.5 hours
