Agreed that ain't it. I built up my account relatively quickly to a modest 11k followers and found nothing but emptiness there. Superficial interactions with people I don't know. Meaningless. I never post now. I spend more time thinking about the future, layout out a plan for my life and reading books. ROI of that time spent is much, much higher both in terms of moving my career forward and overall happiness.
- duxup 8y agoI feel the same every time I get into Twitter, it's like everyone is trying to sell me something, their brand, an idea conveyed in the most twitter like superficial way, it's just empty. I curated it a great deal and ended up with various accounts that focus on various interests where I follow accounts that provide real data.... but almost all of it I would just go to their website to find anyway and I found that even with those accounts I was just filtering a great deal of stuff that I wouldn't read on their site too, but now I have to scroll past each item individually. The end result was a larger time sink, and even emptier experience than most social media sites.
- rchaud 8y agoThat's the weird thing I've discovered about IG in particular, there is almost no real interaction in the public comments between the 'community'. The comments are frequently just lists of users tagging different users. It's bad UX too, which I why I pretty much never click on the "more" button for individual posts.
