Instagram is great for inspiration in terms of fashion, decor, framing a photograph, and aesthetically pleasing things/people, but it just isn't for socializing. Meant to motivate but turned toxic somehow. Perhaps the people one follows has a great deal to do with it, ie: Follow an account posting positive quotes vs Follow a famous celebrity who posts about expensive cars. The account with positive quotes is going to inspire and motivate whereas the celebrity account will only show you things you think you need or way to look. Though for some, the opposite rings true. it's how you use it, right?
i also find it cliquish, big accounts tend to stick together, it's hard to grow and be noticed. considering deleting mine. Steemit all the way!
