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

Instagram blocked my activity for liking too many posts. It’s apparently a new ‘feature’.
Shite feature if you ask me, seems fucking shite

Is using hashtags for your work on instagram tacky?
- Using Instagram is tackynb
- touchebainbridge
- Add the hastags as a comment, you create extra "engagement" and boost your postgrafician
- #Hashtags help you reach a target audience and expand your posts.utopian
- you gotta do it manHayzilla
- Fuck Instagram, a platform for retarded.i_was
- ^ you're a cheerleader for the retarded, your IG followers must be in the thousands.face_melter
- I am not a retarded called face_melter who has an IG account to show his mediocre worki_was
- When did i_was turn into a massive cunt? Or has he just previously gone under my radar?Hayzilla

How to view all comments to a post on Instagram?
Discuss
- Click on view all comments.palimpsest
- It shows the first 10, and then you load like 3 additional comments at a timedrgs
- On desktop, yes. You have to click on that + button. I don't know if there's a workaround.
Good luck.palimpsest - I think it's deliberately designed to make longform interaction a bit annoying. Like how McDonalds made their seats uncomfy so you would leave quicker.PhanLo

Instagram now requires everyone to login to view any content redirected from other websites. - Fuck you Instagram.
- And then after you login, the redirect that you were looking for is not there.utopian
- yeah its completely fucked for me but you can still open the content in a new tab and it won't require logins.sted
- And all that info is shared across the Facebook Advertising Monolithnb
- The "open in new tab" doesn't work anymore.utopian
- it still works for me in firefoxsted
- just noticed that this works only on public? profiles, and their direct links to posts. for example i can't open the profile SlashPeckham linkedsted

Just started a new ig thing: @covid.spots
Documenting those pavement and floor stickers telling you where to stand etc. I’d love to have other examples from around the world so if you qbners see any and can be arsed to take an overhead photo of them and send them to me that’d be brill. Include your ig handle if you have one for a credit. Send them to
Or don’t.

It's to look for alternatives, i dont know if there's any good one tho
- I'd love to find an IG alternative as well. Any recommendations?MondoMorphic
- QBN > Pic of the Daypalimpsest
- Seriously, what are you millennials following? I'm happy with my feed.palimpsest
- From what I just read, the best alternatives for instagram are Vero and 500px. If your thing is short videos and stories, you have plenty of alternatives.Bennn
- But for pictures, seems like 500px and possibly Vero are good.Bennn
- Are you not happy with the content or with the interface? Because you control the content.palimpsest
- This would be like if your mom started skateboarding; it's no longer cool / time to move on... No offence moms on QBN, of course!!! xoideaist
- How do you do, fellow kids? .gifpalimpsest
- But didn't Bennn complain about Tik Tok as well?palimpsest
- is there a verse of the Bible that tells you to shut the fuck up?face_melter
- Matthew 7:7
Proverbs 17:28palimpsest - Insta is where the models are which is the one and only reason I go there, too...SimonFFM
- Ok just read a few reviews, VERO is shit. So 500px is the best alternatives for photographers.Bennn
- @palimpsest You control the content in instagram? LOL, have you use the app lately?Bennn
- @face_melter are you telling me to STFU?Bennn
- @Bennn
Yes, I use it everyday. Maybe I have lower standards than you?
https://www.qbn.com/…palimpsest - He was telling me to STFU. But it's your post, Bennn.
I'm listening.palimpsest - i was wondering who palimpsest is, i see he have a brand new account from 2020 invited by utopian.Bennn
- my feed is also absolutely fine, just follow what interests you. My feed is 100% what I have followed (with a few ads thrown in).fadein11
- Bennn, tu parles beaucoup pour rien dire. Je ne vois pas en quoi le fait que je soit nouveau change ce que j'ai dit.palimpsest
- Si tu préfères que je me taise il suffit de le demander.palimpsest
- J'en ai marre de ces discussions de pre-ado de qui est le nouveau et qui est copine avec qui.palimpsest

- @palimpset c'est qu'il y a beaucoup de trolls sur le site qui s'ouvrent des comptes alternatif pour faire les cons, alors on a developer un reflexe de groupezarkonite
- quand on voit des nouveaux qui, pour prendre un example au hasard, disent au autres de STFU. Get it now?zarkonite
- Si tu lis bien tu verras que je n'ai jamais dit a personne de STFU. Mais peut être le mieux c'est de le faire moi même. 'Chuis trop vieux pour ces conneries.palimpsest
- Live your truth.palimpsest
- @grafician ello is shit, i tried itBennn
- @palimpset j'ai presque rien lu des notes, je voulais juste expliquer l'attitude de bennn/groupe par rapport a ton commentaire de pre-ado ;)zarkonite
- Désolé si je t'ai mal juger en partant @palimpsest Oublis ce que j'ai dit.Bennn
- it's ironic that these shitty changes have been done to keep people on ig, and yet i look at it less and less because of those changeshans_glib
- yes exactly hans, exactly like FacebookBennn
- aujourd'hui je suis un petit pois.Nairn
- None of those things bother me nearly as much as the same usability issues Instagram always had. Vertical video, almost no ability to maximize a video on PCs,CyBrainX
- Images are low res and can't be maximized either.CyBrainX
- Uploading generally can't be done on PC. Everything is dumbed down, limited and not scalable. It would have passed as a website in the late 90s.CyBrainX

The discover feed is such trash. My discover feed is almost completely full of very attractive people making fools of themselves. The cringe factor is over the top.
I follow zero people like this. I wouldn’t care, but it’s a er because IG used to be a place to discover cool content. Now it’s shit.
Someone make a new one

- I still rmember the days when IG had a fair bit of quality photography. Sigh.Continuity
- Instagram is fine, just follow stuff you are interested in.fadein11
- LOL. It's tailored to your interests. Don't blame the gram, blame yoself. Here's my explore from this morning:

- Yeah instagram is a money machine, 2 pics, 1 ad, 2 pics, 1 ad...Bennn
- and another BOT that salvages our data to know us and target ads that fits our needs.Bennn
- And a place where so many people take the same beautiful boring pictures.Bennn
- I welcome a system that targets ads to my interests instead of offering me the interests of the general population.palimpsest
- In the end I don't even see the ads, billboards have never been a problem for me. I've never fallen to consumerism.palimpsest
- I was trained to sell shit.
