I think it is all dependent on how you curate your feed. On Instagram, I only follow friends I know well in real life, and even then only about 50 or 60 of them. I am an avid guitarist, so follow a lot of guitar builders or stores that post some great shots of lovely instruments. I pretty much _never_ follow any celebrities or "influencers" at all as I don't do the whole 'fake life' thing.
For that reason, Instagram is actually a happy place for me. Whenever I need a little inspirational pick me up, I fire up the app and look through pictures of beautiful guitars, chess sets, planes etc. as well as the occasional picture of friends going about their lives and I feel happy.
Now if only I could reduce the number of ads in the feed... ;)
- msds 8y agoSame here! Essentially everyone I follow on Instagram is an artist or skilled craftperson, with at most 1 degree of separation from someone I actually know. That means my feed is mainly people posting awesome projects they're working on - it's really nice to look at, and inspires me to make stuff. Avoiding celebrities/influencers/boring friends is key.
