Instagram is a BROKEN mess – a researched rant.

Описание: Instagram used to be good. It's now is a broken, unpleasant, scam-riddled app. the only way Instagram has gotten better is in making more money for Meta.

Instagram screwed me over and I made this 28-minute video essay because I’m salty.

Chapters.

/history of Instagram
/feature design issues
/tech functionality issues
/user experience issues
/the future of Instagram

/about me:
I am a 20-somethin’ y.o intellectual crackhead, who like books, poetry, and anything else I like to get into (art, films, philosophy, culture, social commentary etc.). Talking books, I like classics, literary fiction, and sci-fi, but will read anything if it’s bad-funny enough.
