> PS: Stay AWAY from the "Explore" tab. That is an endless dopamine well of misery.
I have a 6 figure instagram id and have never opened the explore tab.
But I also stopped using instagram when I realized the ads are more interesting than the people in my feed. Maybe early instagram folk just aren’t the target market anymore.
Sometimes I miss my quirky candid real life photography app.
edit: to clarify for the downvoters — professionally interesting people (influencers) bore me and my friends highlight reels … are kinda boring too because they all end up looking the same since they’re all trying to promote an idealized version of their lives instead of just being themselves. The ads were great, but I don’t need an app for ads. So like the commenter above, I curated heavily – by never checking the app.
