New animations, new effects, lots of video. This is the reality of today’s Instagram. With all the updates of this social network, I have reached a maximum state of burnout. I am constantly on the lookout for new effects, tools to create Reels. From my experience with creating Reels, I can say with absolute certainty that Reels is a very exhausting tool, almost useless. I am totally confused, and don’t understand how to continue my creative journey here. My followers don’t see my works. Most Reels viewers are casual viewers who just saw the video somewhere in a recommendation. Instagram’s algorithms are destroying any remaining desire to keep staying here. Right now, I want to leave Instagram. Because it has become a place of stress for me. The source of stress - is the worst thing that could be about your job, all the time, every day. I’ve spent almost four years of my life here. I don’t know how I’m going to continue my creative journey here. It’s very sad, my dear friends. @mosseri @creators I hope you start listening your “users” someday...
