Who here /instagram/?
I never understand why people have this app. Why following people? Can you explain to me the purpose of this? Can it be beneficial?

I'm a pretty social person, but I don't get this thing in particular

People like to take pictures of what's happening in their lives and other people (friends, family, whatever) can keep up with their lives this way.
How do you not get this?
>>36986948
but there's Facebook for that
>>36986961
Not everyone posts all their pictures on facebook. Some do, but not everyone. They just use facebook as a glorified instant messenger.

I follow mostly weightlifting and news pages.

IG allows you to discover other people w similar interests by using the hash tags. You can also just browse recently uploaded pics from all over the world's.
Additionally, people tend to post more provocative photos on IG as its not AS public as FB, which is sometimes reserved for family and coworkers now.
Lastly, IG comes w a decent photo app which makes it very easy to take and upload pictures while also editing the photo w filters and post processing features.

ok, but how does this help you (regarding being /fit/)?
or is it just to enjoy pics of fit people?

I like looking at other people.
Insecure people use it as a means to justify there existence and every insignificant action they do and to also frame themselves in a way they think makes them look happy and successful so people will 'like' them. I took a picture of some rabbit carrot stick carbage I'm having for lunch "LOOK HOT HEALTH CONCIOUS I AM, PLEASE JUSTIFY MY ACTIONS BECAUSE THE HEALTH BENEFITS THEMSELVES DON'T CUT IT." Typically you don't post shit like "I lost my job and my dad died, fuck life" although some people do for some nice sympathy points. narcissistic self masturbation really
Doesn't IG belong to facebook anyway?
>>36987398
This.
Instagram is just for chicks with an attention disorder.
Most sane people I know don't have an account.

> fb as a glorified instant messenger
Exactly, the only other thing FB is/was good for was pic sharing, and you can do that now with IG and cut out all the other bullshit. FB is for seniors.
