How real is Instagram anyway?

Good morning, everybody. I am having so much fun using this app, and it actually brought me a new idea for a topic. And, you know, it's kind of around. The premise of this whole app is that, you know, social media is so fun. I myself love it. I love Instagram, I love TikTok

And I found that following, at least on Instagram or Twitter people that directly relate to hobbies of mine is a great way to sort of avoid the negativity that comes with social media, although I do follow a lot of sports stuff and their candy negativity there. But it's just easier, I think, for me to sort of focus on those things that I love rather than follow people that I think are, I don't know, cool or hip or whatever

Thanks, Taylor. That is a really good point. Sometimes I forget that I have a lot more control over my feet than I think I do. I notice that, like, in the past, I followed a lot of, like, quote, unquote influencers because the FOMO like, I felt like if I wasn't following influencers, I'd miss out on the latest trends or what I'm supposed to be doing or blah, blah, blah. And I agree with you
