No, not really?

I mean, I don't spend time on LinkedIn anyway, but other sites aren't going to affect what I think of Instagram, which is that it's alright and mildly interesting.

Having an Instagram account for me is kinda fun, in that I post once every few weeks or months and like to use it as a small gallery of my life. I don't see that as a waste of time. Also, I can sometimes keep in touch with friends who do use it more.

you are right Ben. What I feel is it not the right thing to just scroll through memes the whole day instead of utilizing your precious time on something more productive. A few months back, I was one of those, but now I have come out of it and have started learning more and being productive, and now I feel that I don't like Instagram anymore.

I guess the difference is that I never really saw Instagram as "social media" and haven't engaged with anyone that way. For what it was originally sold as, it's still decent!
