Talk:True Life: The Reality of Instagram/@comment-27015456-20151028211930

I really like how you are discussing a very narrow and focused idea, specifcally being more thoughful when posting pictures to Instagram than other social platforms and the difference between the before and after photo. I would like to give some of my own feedback on my own Instagram use which you could possibly use in the research section of your final project. Instagram and Snapchat are my two favorite social media platforms. My content for Instagram is much more curated and calculated than it is for Snapchat. For example I will take more time taking a photo to make it "Instagram worthy". I will also upload pictures only at certain times for example I won't post a picture at 3:00 a.m. Whereas I do not do the same for Snapchat, I believe the reason for this is because on Instagram when I upload a picture everyone sees it on my feed. As a result, I do have more agency in the way I am protrayed on Instagram because on Snapchat I can spefically decide who sees my Snap. Lastly, it seems Snapchat is becoming more like Instagram and other platforms because you can now add a "Story" which all of your Sncapchat friends can see. As a result, whenever I do post a story that is also curated and a lot of thought has been put into it.
