Social Media View

So I know several people that have left FB or are not on it as much and have decided to start either using Instagram or Twitter instead. Here is my take on as to why.

FB has way too much drama and I do think some of it comes from the algorithm that is used to manage the site. For example in Twitter people really just post things like a status in fb, however, you don't get in your tweet feed only things that help feed into whatever you happen have posted about at the time.

Instagram on the other hand in order to post you always have to have some kind of picture. So you are following pics people post. which could be silly stuff, feelings or really anything. When pictures are posted less feelings seem to be involved, and you only get to see the things that you choose to follow. Very similar in the algorithm in FB.

So I challenge people to post only pictures to their fb for a week and see if you notice a difference in the anxiety you feel when you are on the platform and how it affects the algorithm of whom you see.
