The proliferation of reels is what got me to finally delete Instagram. I went to Instagram to get information on things I like (my favorite band is on tour, this new restaurant is opening etc), not to be fed pieces of content that I didn’t ask for. I still check instagram on my laptop lest I miss a new album release or whatever, but I don’t miss the endless scrolling on my phone even a little.

I love Paramore & The New Pornographers so to see you write about them, fantastic! Instagram reels is a very interesting place to be.
I've never had an intagram account. This post didn't sell me on it.
