Instagram: From Artistic Expression to Influencer Exploitation
Instagram once thrived as a space where creativity was celebrated and where users could share their passions visually. However, the platform has increasingly shifted towards a commercialized environment where authenticity is often sacrificed for profit.
- Inauthentic Influencer Culture: The rise of influencer culture has transformed Instagram into a platform dominated by polished personas and product placements. The pressure to conform to a certain aesthetic or lifestyle has made the platform less about genuine expression and more about curated appearances. Users are bombarded with content that promotes unattainable ideals, leading to feelings of inadequacy and a loss of the platform’s original spirit of creativity and connection.
- Algorithmic Pressure: Instagram’s algorithm favors frequent posting and high engagement, pushing users to constantly create content that will keep them relevant. This creates an environment where the joy of sharing is replaced by the stress of staying visible. Many users feel pressured to post content that will perform well, rather than content that truly represents who they are.
- Commercialization: Instagram has become increasingly commercial, with sponsored posts, shopping features, and ads taking over the platform. What was once a space for personal expression is now a marketplace where every swipe is a sales pitch. The platform’s focus has shifted from celebrating creativity to maximizing revenue.
