I'd love to agree, but 99% of the people I know use Instagram more than once per day.

That's totally not my experience at all to be honest. But we all have our unique and different bubbles we end up in.

I know a lot of people with children quasi depend on WhatsApp for their children activities, when in other circles Telegram or Signal would be way more common and the obvious choice.

Edit:// also do they use it as social media or to consume media/ads? If they don't use it as mainly social my point might still be true

The question is if you see Instagram as a social media or as a feed.

On my own Instagram people who I know make up maybe 1 piece of content every second day.

Otherwise it is Ai generated content that is, unfortunately, very engaging but of a very low quality.

So I understand why there are a lot of people on Instagram.

(personally, I prefer to ruin my health with i IPAs over doom scrolling)
