This is not professional in any manner or meant to be offensive in anyway. My intention is to inform the general public that there are unspoken rules of using Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest, etc. and I see these rules broken more than I would like.
Instagram is probably my favorite social media out there. I love it so much because it usually isn't full of clutter like Facebook or Twitter. This is because Instagram is set to share only photos or videos. No status updates, page ads, friends who liked links, etc. Instagram is clean with a picture/video and a caption.
Until someone screenshots a status, tweet or note and posts it as a picture.
Do you people not get it? That is what Facebook and Twitter are for. Chances are, the people who follow you and Instagram are probably on your Facebook or Twitter too. We've already seen it, and now I'm seeing it twice. Instagram is for actual pictures of actual life. Keep your statuses and tweets where you originally wrote them.
What I find even worse is the people who have gone around that and create a note, screenshot it, and upload it to Instagram. There is a reason that Instagram does not have a place to only write an update about your life. As my faithful site Wikipedia defines Instagram,"It is an online mobile photo-sharing, video-sharing and social networking service that enables it users to take pictures and videos, apply digital filters to them, and share them on a variety of social networking services." The main purpose is photos and videos, that is all.
Which brings me to another point. Do not post memes. Ever. I will admit I did post one a year and a half ago...but I made it and I'm the one in the picture. I also fell trap to posting the memes about finals back in the day. Those were deleted when I realized they don't belong on Instagram. KEEP THEM AWAY.
Instagram also has this day theme every week.
Man Candy Monday
Transformation Tuesday
Woman Crush Wednesday
Throwback Thursday
...etc...every week.
I've always found this kind of odd.
I really don't mind if you do post using the #mcm or #tbt but, for the love, please do not post the same man or women every week of your significant other. One thing I can not stand is seeing the caption, " My #mcm every week" No. Just stahp. Don't use celebrities every week either. They don't even know you exist.
You can't say that I don't understand celebrity crushes. Because, honey, I do. I'm a strong fan girl of many fandoms. I don't feel the need to plaster their face for everyone else though, just my desktop will do.
And don't you ever "#fbf to last weekend!" NO. No, no, no, no, no. You should have posted that last weekend. DO NOT WAIT A WEEK JUST TO RELIVE IT AGAIN WHEN WE ALREADY SAW PICTURES A WEEK AGO. Go, do something new this weekend and then let me know about it.
I always did like a clean Instagram. So hows about some spring cleaning?
