    IG is the first and only social media tool I was/am addicted to.
    I would go to bed scrolling through Instagram, and grab my phone as soon as I woke up to scroll through the updated feed as I took my early morning dump. I was out of control, so on Friday night I temporarily disabled my account and deleted the app from my phone.

    I saw myself grabbing the phone many times, forgetting I didn't have that pass time anymore. It's crazy how much time we dedicate to these things.

    I will most likely go back it, I'm a visual guy and it helps with inspiration. But for now, I'm enjoying the lack of memes and other garbage. I encourage you to do the same for a couple of days.

    • I "use" IG to stay informed on bands I like dropping merch and albums. But one weekend I started liking a bunch of cars, and now my feed is now 100% cars.DRIFTMONKEY

    • you're polluting your brain with dozens of images per minutes, images you're "looking" at for a mere 0,35 sec in average. You're not really getting inspiration.Bennn
    • You're just overloading your brain with rapid information. You wont be able to concentrate on anything later.Bennn
    • ^ that's similar to what was said about books and now look how fucked up we are because of books.Ianbolton
    • lol i dont think so ianbolton, comparing books and IG is stupidBennn
    • I totally agree with BennnDRIFTMONKEY
    • So do I, I was pissing about. But suggesting we're overloading the brain is pretty stupid.Ianbolton
    • ^ actually, Ian is right. There was a time when the ‘experts’ thought books were polluting the the minds of the new generationGnash

    • Books is the wrong metaphor. IG is at best like reading 30 haikus a minute. At worst, it's like reading pretty sounding words that don't actually say anything.monNom
