I still don't understand why Instagram took off, and I'm a millennial. You could already post pictures to Facebook when it came out. What advantage did Instagram offer over Facebook? Filters? I just don't understand my peers and I don't understand this industry sometimes.
- steve-benjamins 10y agoYou sound incredulous that Instagram took off while also admitting you don't understand it's appeal... That doesn't seem like someone open to understanding the appeal :)
- tmcpro 10y agoInstagram was uncluttered. People posted original content. The content was typically once a day and people would spend 5 minutes "getting the right angle" and other 10 minutes picking the right filter. Today my Facebook feed is clogged with people reposting links, videos, or photos that are more click bait than news worthy. Instagram still allows me to see what my network is up to without the political headlines
- alecco 10y agoPolitics, 9gag, and general clickbait are killing Facebook. It's hideous. Stopped using it after unfollowing most of my "friends". Never looked back. Also a random pretty girl pic gets 1000 likes while a good original post gets 100 if lucky. Why bother.
