スティーブン・ショア、Instagram辞めるってよ。

I began posting on Instagram 10years ago. My project was to photograph every day
with my iPhone and with Instagram in mind - the screen size; the nature of the Instagram experience.
I would post one a day. (Occasionally I'd post an older image, but these were clearly indicated).
I found a community of Instagrammers with similar
aims. Some we're friends. Some became Instagram
friends. A global visual conversation developed.
I've had occasion to meet some of my new IG friends. When we saw each other for the first time
there was often a sense of recognition. We knew the taste of each other's perception. I had the image of two Enlightenment scholars, one in Paris and the other in Amsterdam who had never met but who corresponded weekly.
After about 6 years I found my feed beginning to get stale. I felt I was repeating myself. So I took a break
from posting regularly. I would still, on occasion, put up an image or announce a show or book. Over these years the Instagram experience has changed. Sponsored and suggested posts were
introduced. The feed went from chronological to algorithmical. Recently I've seen scores of spam accounts following and DM'ing me. And I've been
simply spending too much time on The Gram. I've decided to disengage from Instagram, although I will miss my IG friends. I've also decided to keep my
feed up and public to make an archive of this project
(If anyone is interested in keeping abreast of my projects, they are welcome to subscribe to my newsletter on my website - link in profile).
A couple of days ago I asked Perplexity, the Al search engine, how to cancel my IG account. After walking me through the various steps it added that people who quit Instagram could "potentially experience positive effects on their mental health
experience positive effects on their mental health and overall well-being", demonstrating not only Artificial Intelligence, but Artificial Wisdom.

↑とのこと。とてもよくわかる。そしてアカウントを残してくれることに感謝。

Instagramはもう若者の出会い系サイトであり若者のFacebook（本家Facebookは中年の盛り場）になっているからね。

僕もInstagramは職場の10代、20代とやりとりするモノとして認識して運用している。世界に発信する場じゃない感覚、LINEに近い捉え方になってる。

メールは会社からの指令、LINEは正式な個人のやり取り、InstagramのDMはおちゃらけの雑談。

そういう感じ。

Instagramをちょくちょく見るのは精神衛生上よくないのは間違いない。

あまりにも刺激的な動画が勝手に流れ続けるのが、今のInstagramだから。

以上
