Instagram Is Jumping The Shark

By

College Humor makes fun of Instagram users in the above video with such viciousness that I wonder if it will turn fans off from the service.

I tried to use Instgram earlier this year. I thought its hipster filters were cool because it made my low fidelity images look like they’ve aged dozens of years in a basement shoe box, but in the end I got no value from it. I really didn’t care to view photos of what other people were eating or seeing. I didn’t care about the everyday-irony that exists in the world. I didn’t care to share insignificant images of my life experience.

It turns out that Instagram is no more than an outlet for women to attention whore. While in the past a girl would have to manually upload any bathroom self-shot of herself  to Facebook, Instagram gives women a one-click option to get adoration from her internet fans. Proof that it’s utterly useless for men is the fact that they can’t even get laid from it, something that you can at least do on Facebook.

If you want to be serious about photography, buy a camera and take real pictures. In the end, no self-respecting man would actively maintain an Instagram account. Thumbs down all the way.

      I think Pinterest is better because it’s about curating things instead of attention whoring. It’s actually a pretty good site to get style ideas.

    -People who are actually into photography use Flickr, from which they often end up on tumblr.

    I don’t think I’ve ever been to Instagram. Nothing about it has every interested me enough to type the URL into my address bar. I’ll check the College Humor video.

    As a man from former soviet union I automatically assume that Instagram has something to do with quick shots of vodka.

    You all here lose some thousand man points for knowing what it is actually.

    Instagram illustrates a key difference between men and women: Men only enjoy attention and get validation with what they’ve DONE: win a sport, write a witty blog post, bang a dime. Nobody gives a fuck if a man posts a pic of himself in a funny situation or looking good.

    Women mostly enjoy attention and get validation just for who they ARE: pretty, popular, or for her interests. A pretty girl on Instagram posting photos of herself can get hundreds of followers while doing nothing of value. Women attention-whore on Instagram and everywhere else because women constantly need little pats on the head telling them them they’re “worthy” without any accomplishments.

    Amen.
