What was once a simple photo sharing app is now a platform for Content with a capital C.
Have you tried simply uploading a photo to Instagram lately? It’s a minefield. Is that a Story, a Post, or a Reel? Do you want to add music? A caption? A prompt, which is… different than a caption, somehow? How about a poll? A fundraiser? More text, but this time on top of the image? Share it to Facebook? On and on and on. I have a simple request to anyone at Meta who is listening: please, just give us our photo sharing app back.

Ya, dulunya Instagram itu simpel, tempat upload foto, sosial dan selesai. Tapi sekarang sudah banyak tambahan fitur yang sudah gak bisa dibilang aplikasi sharing foto, lebih dikenal sekarang sebagai “Content”.
Paling ngeselin itu bagian discover/explore, foto yang tampil sedikit acak, tapi yang lebih parah bagian video, sama sekali gak sesuai algoritma, sepertinya yang penting viral maka tampil disitu, yang mana ya ganggu karena viral != kualitas.
Sempat nyobain Unsplash, tapi ada banyak hal kecil yang saya kurang sreg, barusan juga nyobain Pexels, tapi baru daftar doang.
