Weekly SO

Just as I was whining last week, about that I feel like I am out of opinions, I bumped into one pretty strong, like someone butted my head...

And that is, how much I hate and resent that social media, especially Instagramm is trying to force us to use /post videos/reels instead of pictures... 

In one level I do understand that for them, the longer one stays on their pages the better it is for them, and looking at a reel/video takes longer than looking at a picture... HOWEVER....

Back at the heydays of social media things were more clearly defined, and I would like to have that definition back, meaning that if I want chitchat, and such, I1d go to Facebook, if I want to look at pictures I would go on Instagram, and if I want to look reels and videos, I would go to Tik Tok or Youtube. 

I resent the fact that I want to look at pictures and I go on Instagram, and a ton of videos and reels are pushed into my face. I would also hate this, if I would be someone, who would "use" Instagram for more than I do, like a more or less haphasard picture-journal, without caring much about the number of followers, likes, etc. 

It takes so much more effort to make, edit and post videos than pictures, and many people I followed stopped posting there...
