Also the sheer amount of archive materials kept on Instagram is overwhelming. I’ve been using it since 2013/14(?) and the idea of this ‘relationship’ that’s been pretty much daily for so long, how it’s manipulated and shaped habits and the psyche. Such a profoundly complex thing

Also wish there was an alternative platform like instagram that prioritised visual content.. I wonder - or suppose the main addiction is just the fact that so many people (artists and creatives etc) rely on it to share work professionally and build these ‘casual’ networks
