not good, replaced with something worse.

  How is it worse? I mean, personally I find it better, the real news isn't filled with Paparrazi/Celeb incidents, there are fewer creepy upskirt pictures and stalker photos plastered on tabloids, it's all moved to a nice bunch of communities I can ignore.

  It is shallow as it always was - but at least it is not mean.

    I think Instagram is harmful in different ways

  Selling yourself is much more ethical than others selling you. This is progress

Is it better? At least I didn’t need to actively isolate tabloid magazines from other parts of my life.

  Why do you need to actively isolate Instagram from your life? Can't you just, you know, not use Instagram?

    Not OP, but thanks to IG and similar sites I hear about celebrity things and other pop-culture stuff way more than before. Case in point: This post.
    - Ensorceled 7y ago
      The nightly news and mainstream newspapers used to be full of tabloid spillover; people suing, assaults on paparazzi, paparazzi being charged, updates on court cases. This has all pretty much evaporated. Pop culture itself certainly is "way more than before". The place I do find more pop-culture stuff like this is in the clickbait ads that are everywhere now, but that's just an entirely new thing.

        Didn’t watch and nightly news, read only the economy and political section of newspapers. I don’t see click bait ads because that shit is blocked.

      Don't click. I didn't click.

        Exactly. "Instagram is full of selfies." "Yes, why are you on Instagram if you hate that kind of thing?"

        It spills over into real life now, if you haven't seen "influencers" out doing photoshoots you're lucky. I was at a museum in Boston and couldn't see some things because an influencer would spend 5-10 minutes setting up the perfect shot (I never once saw her actually looking at the stuff in the museum).
