It would’ve made sense for Instagram to just stay the way they are. They’ve made so many changes from what they initially were. From just photographs, they went along the vine road and then now snapchat. And let’s not forget the change of their iconic look. They don’t listen to their users and granted, it’s not their prerogative but maybe if they just concentrated on what made them unique, it would’ve been better.
In terms of usage, it’s true what the article said. It’s the best version of myself and by that I mean my Instagram is very carefully curated for my photography without a single selfie or a family Christmas photo for example. It’s a detachment I created purposely. And this is why I love snapchat. Its my friends and a few others and it’s where I am myself at my goofiest or where I share who I really am.
Personally, I hate watching videos on Instagram in any case and have never used it till date! So it’s going to be the same for Instagram stories too.
