Instagram and I
Today I wanted to talk
about the social media platform known as Instagram. Mainly the use for it as
well as my own personal thoughts about it. Instagram or IG came out this month
(October) in 2010. It was used for photo and video sharing for its users and wasn’t
just used to post random sayings or updates like Twitter and Facebook. Its sole
purpose is to only have photos and small videos.
It is a simple platform
to use with you following other people and hope they follow you back. You post
photos or videos about anything you want for your followers to see. You can tag
people in the photos or in the description. You can also put hashtags in the
description to try and get your post trendier. Simple to use and simple to
follow especially since the only posts you see are usually from those you
follow.
At first, I didn’t like
the platform because I thought it would rival Snapchat. At the time Snapchat
was my favorite social media platform. I also didn’t like how Instagram started
to take ideas from Snapchat like putting stories on your profile that would
only be up for 24 hours. Then the day I picked up photography was the day I
learned to love Instagram. I love following other photographers and getting
inspiration with what they post. Well that’s all I have to say about that, I
hope IG stays around for a while because someday I hope others find the
photographs that I take inspirational.
I wasn't my favorite social media platform neither simply because I didn't now how to use it. However, as you mentioned, now I'm a big fan of Instagram because there are many posts which insist to beauty strongly.
ReplyDeleteI think that Instagram has always been m favorite social media platform. I think it is probably because it is the first one I ever had. I also did not like when Instagram began to add features that Snapchat had first, like the story feature.
ReplyDeleteI sometimes ask myself why I am looking at the platform that just projects photos and videos over and over. But, it somehow keeps me entertain. I think it's because I can choose which IG account to follow, and by following the same accounts for the long time, I can know their story. But, someday I will get bored of it for sure.
