I'm not a huge fan of Facebook and Instagram, to say the least. When they first started, they were a great way to bring social interactions online, but now it feels like they've become a feeding ground for marketers who are just trying to make a profit. It's really frustrating because any content you post on these networks is basically lost. People outside of the social networks can't see it, and even inside the networks it's hard to get any visibility because of the algorithms they use. I've experimented with this a few times and I've found that usually only about 20-30 people, usually my friends, will see a photo on Instagram or a post on Facebook. And search engines don't even index the content. If you want more visibility, you really have to work for it. And on top of all that, these social networks don't have any problem making money off of ads shown with your content. On the other hand, I have a blog post from 2013 that still gets readers to this day. It's just a little frustrating, you know?
