Just like the drug plague.

I miss when Instagram was about photography. Now it's all about flaunting your steroid muscles and showing off your shallow luxurious lifestyle paid for by brands. Please stop it!

Oh, don't be fooled, none of those people actually live those lifestyles.

I had a housemate who was an instagramer, and he would pull pics off the internet to post as part of his "lifestyle", or if he had a friend who had gone on a holiday, or visited a rich friend, he would borrow his friend's pics to use as well.

I installed TikTok a while back as a friend said about it. Within minutes it was showing up suggestions of videos of what appeared to me to be very young women in extremely sexualised and suggestive content. I deleted it straight away and even now feel uncomfortable, like I had somehow ventured into a paedophile site.

Why any normal person would want anything to do with either it or the people behind it is a mystery to me.

The vibe I get from this thread? Tiktok and social media in general doesn’t appeal to tech nerds lol.
