I recently started an account for my new rescue dog, @kira_inthecity, and that has really pushed me to figure out how to use the new features, I guess you could call them that.  I wasn't on Instagram for a long time, for much of pandemic, and it changed SO MUCH in the year or so that I was not on it.  It took a long time to get used to.  I don't know how people make the creative videos that they do.  It's really cool but it has to be so time consuming.  

I don’t mind it… I feel like it’s a great shopping app. Maybe that’s where its headed

I miss it being chronological. But I understand that they’re switching because if they don’t, younger people won’t use it. 

We all know that Instagram is slowly trying to become TikTok, despite the fact that we all fell in love with it for being what it is: a really great photo and meme-sharing app. But it seems like the backlash is starting to get even stronger, with the Kardashians getting involved, and, well, this:

Are the changes annoying you as much as they're annoying me? And does it affect your desire to use it? I find I'm visiting it less and less these days, and gravitating more towards apps like Reddit. (Though, they recently changed their algorithm too to include content from subreddits I don't follow, which I HATE. So perhaps my days are numbered there too.)

Do you still like Instagram?
