Instagram has been an absolute dumpster fire for the last two or three years - it's no longer a photography platform, it's a meme, "influencer", celeb, and viral video platform. Tear it down.
The only recent saving grace is that I'm seeing more photographic content, the problem is that's from other photographers who are promoting their work via paid ads - they're not going to grow their following that way and TBH a lot of it is pretty mediocre.
Any recommendations on photo platforms to use if I want to passively share my photos with my friends and family? Network effects are pretty hard to overcome.
They likely won’t take any of their acquisitions down with them. They’ve been pretty good about keeping them mostly separate. They’ll be spun off in any eventual liquidation.
Unless you think they are being mismanaged or mismarketed now?
