It's 2019 and I'm getting started just now loll :) dog & cat lovers follow and say hello!
- Great lines!ideaist
- ^ thx a lot!helloeatbreathedrive
- So many hashtags and only 18 followers. I wonder how people get 100000s.freedom
- The brand is more for people than for cats :/ make it more "cat-y"grafician
- Don't get me wrong, this is a great idea, but too minimal like for designers with cats...oh wait! :Ografician
- I was looking forward to a nice feed of dogs and catsset
- its a one man op, plus my regular job :) so starting it as a side thing, tho the market is bleedin right now, still somethin to keep me busy i guess :)helloeatbreathedrive
- Neat! Did you do the laminate bending yourself?
A decent niche too - well-spotted!Nairn - Not one of your posts actually shows and of your products in full...set
- I thought that too, but presumably his main website will, upon release. Finished units also have cushions, so I'm guessing these are just WIP shots on Insta.Nairn
- ^ All correct fellas. First details, then the standalone product shots then shots with pets etc. It's coming along slowly, can't rush everything all at once :)helloeatbreathedrive
- I'd mix it up a bit asap, all your posts look very much the same and wouldn't inspire me to follow you as I'd just expect more of the same...set
- However nice they might be :)set
- Actually you are right set, totally bud. I'm gonna mix it up soon with some graphics as wellhelloeatbreathedrive

I've started a webcomic on Instagram lately! It's about being a designer, but it's probably mostly an excuse for me to moan about things, I guess...
- Very nice.
Instagram makes me sad. After 24hrs stuff never gets seen.Hayzilla - Aye, it's much the same everywhere. Building a readership is nigh on impossible.bruised_blood
- or you see shit that's 5-6 days old in feed.jaylarson
- Very nice.

FUCK YOU INSTAGRAM!
I logged into our Instagram account, only to discover that we are magically following thousands of people we never followed. I then spent an hour "unfollowing" these people...only to have them reappear as "followed" on our account 5 minutes later.
I'm now done with Instagram...and fuck you Facebook!
- Did you change your pwd?notype
- use only data plan when in public, no wireless cxn for loggin on anything importanthelloeatbreathedrive

Instagram is fascinating to me. It is the ten ton gorilla. I cannot imagine what can displace it, but something will, probably in the 2-3 years.
One reason for sure is the hate that it is beginning to get from people for no real reason - except maybe just association with Facebook. Instagram has avoided that for a long time....but now it says 'powered by Facebook' when you start the app....whoops! and I see comments in this thread that are like comments about Facebook from a few years ago.
I still like Instagram, because it is the best way to view, in one place, the work of almost ALL artists, illustrators, motion designers, and photographers. Everyone in on IG, so it is a one stop shop for reviewing work you like and seeing new things and getting inspiration. And the interface is still good - keeping the image primary, keeping junk out of your eyes.
But change is in the air.
- If you like endless selfies, ads galore and videos of cats sniffing their ass...than Instagram is your platform.utopian
- If you're into that shit then that's the shit that will always show on your feed regardless of the platform.
Own it.palimpsest - No. It's a platform you didn't filter in any way if you're seeing selfies and cats.CyBrainX
- I disagree completely about the interface. You can't even upload from a desktop, can't max anything, everything is dumbed down with no control.CyBrainX
- But i agree about it being the best place to see great work.CyBrainX
- I only see what I followed, stuff I'm interested in. +1 dkobleskyfadein11
- @cy - it's a mobile app, it's not trying to be flickrfadein11
- illustrators are not on flickrdkoblesky
- You could say the same about YouTubeIanbolton
- tik tokApeRobot
- It’s a great place to see creative work but it’s not very deep and doesn’t stimulate any longer forms of conversation apart from emojis.Chimp
- @dk, my point is it's primarily a mobile app, it;s not really trying to be desktop / web based. Never has been. Cy seemed to think it was.fadein11
- @fadein11 Not trying to be Flickr is the problem. Flickr is a photographer's dream. no limits on anything, every detail from EXIF, albums, collection, etc.CyBrainX

In 2012 Instagram was sold to Facebook for "only" $1 Billion. Today it's worth $100 Billion: https://www.bloomberg.com/news/a…
- The probably also got the 1 $B valuation just because Facebook bought them...martinadolfsson
- 99 B in 6 years is a pretty good return.BH26
- It really could be what saves FBformed
- @ formed, That's why FB bought Whatsapp, Instagram (and tried to buy Snapchat too).NBQ00
- Instagram for only $1B was a deal of a life time. Back then ppl laughed at the high price but now in this ongoing tech "bubble" it was peanuts.NBQ00
- Instagram is valuable but it is not worth $100 Billion, lol.cannonball1978
- How can an app worth 100,000,000,000$ ???Bennn
- EyeballsArmandoEstrada
- Seriously.... 100billions... HOW?WHY?Bennn
- EYEBALLS!!!DRIFTMONKEY
- for bubble outsiders its worth lessapi
- Worth $100B now because of what FB turned it into, a 1 billion users market.spl33nidoru
- SHIP6
- Love it. Do a series and contact a high end wallpaper manufacturer :)detritus
- Thanks! but it was already commisioned: Fabric prints for pillows: they're still looking for suppliers / manufacturersSHIP
- throwing a follow. good stuffcapn_ron
- Excellent.Cosmodrome

I've been trying to unfollow people using my browser but it takes about 3 goes. I'm aiming to unfollow about 3000 people, it'll take ages.
Also like Simon was saying, Instagram flags my account for unfollowing as it's not normal behaviour apparently.- it's a cultKrassy
- what about muting rather than unfollowing?capn_ron
- I just want to clean house, so many accounts I can't even remember liking.PhanLo
- Took me about 2 months to unfollow about 500 peoplegrafician
- Unfollow about 10-15 accounts/day:
Open instafram on desktop, open each account you want to unfollow in a tab, unfollow then save that tab in a bookmarks foldgrafician - so this unfollowing a few people each day won't trigger the instagram gestapo and saving the accounts in a bookmarks folder just in case, as a balance/backupgrafician
- It seems it's built into the app. I should delete the account but it is a good way to sell artwork.PhanLo
- It took me a couple of weeks to go from over 3,000 followed accounts down to 879.Ramanisky2
- simple... torch your account... start anew.. a rebirth for 2021. unless it's super integral to your business otherwise do the above I guessjonny_quest_lives
- Now when I delete people, after a while my feed becomes hashtag posts instead of other accounts. They've thought about this quite a lot.PhanLo
- I am sure there is a script for thatAQUTE

There's a new cafe that's opened up just around the corner from me...apparently it's an "influencer" hot spot...has some fancy flower covered wall inside. The people that queue up outside now...it's a sad parade of over made up wannabe twits looking to grift their way through life with one meaningless, shallow insta post after another. It's really fucking sad.
- people who are constantly promoting products get instantly deleted... so fucking annoying .. or if the entire gallery is selfies. Buh Bye.Ramanisky2
- if you want your shop to be successful these day, you have to make it instagramable... thats where we areBennn
- That last sentence is a masterpiece, so we’ll put buster_niko

I needed a excuse to challenge myself creatively, to do more weird things other than just the straight up client assignments.
So each day I create something within 10 minutes and put up on Instagram. Its long enough to mock something together, but not enough to start fussing about details. Some work out, others don't, but when its only 10 minutes, you don't really give a damn and move on.

Is using hashtags for your work on instagram tacky?
- Using Instagram is tackynb
