Why would you follow an account on Instagram? It doesn't mean you see posts from their feed. It's just a bookmark, really.

I don't get every post, only some, they're never timely, and I get a "suggested" follow post every other one.

Thank you for reminding me to delete my instagram account.

I mean, you can still click on their profile and see all posts from them... Right? Or maybe not? I haven't used Instagram in a long time.

I can do that without following them. So why would I FOLLOW someone?

I used it to keep friendly touch with my friends and family. The changed it so that I don't see their feeds anymore, so no point now.

More inportantly if people care about you, they will use ONE democratic alternative to antisocial media to stay in touch with you. You can ask for that.

I appreciate it when people use bad social networks and share the reasons they're bad. I realized this was an issue on Facebook, but not Instagram. And calling it just a bookmark is such a good description.

Is it even worse than Facebook when it comes to accessing them later?
