And 90% of that falls on Mark Zuckerberg's shoulders, Facebook owns Instagram. But if Instagram suffocates the Internet, perhaps it's an opportunity for the arts. Renaissance. That's my take. I noticed the same thing happening (I wrote this same rant 10 mins ago on Facebook) and I have already shifted more of my focus to fine art and I have drawings for sale on Instagram as of a few days ago. If I can choose between making a $2000 web app or a $2000 painting, I'm going to do the painting if that's what people want, and then I get to teach painting, podcast about art, coach artists, the whole nine yards ;-)

There's no one to blame here, just a realization: humanity screws everything up eventually. That being said, the "open web" still is a rich place if you know where to look, but it sure would be better if the vast majority of people on it weren't social media drones.
