ギャランス・ドレのインスタグラム(garancedore) - 11月3日 00時30分

I love Instagram because I love pretty images but I also hate Instagram because of pretty images. Because « pretty » can become a prison.
.
A bright, colorful, smiling photo will almost always get more likes than a dark, imperfect, real photo. .
For any creator it is a curse. Imagine any artist creating with “likes” in mind? How many major works of art would have been turned into “pretty” instead of challenging, deep, thought-provoking?
.
How many messages would have been transformed into just a punchline?
.
I have always been afraid of numbers. Statistics and numbers. Gah! They’re the enemy of my creativity. They often kill it.
.
When “likes” appeared, I don’t think anybody knew what tyranny they would become. Because we’re all human. We’re made of emotions. I don’t know one person who can honestly say she doesn’t get a boost the more likes she gets.
.
I wish Instagram would come up with a way to opt out of numbers. To have a version of it as an option that wouldn’t show you the number of followers of one person, the numbers of likes and not count the number of comments.
.
You would be able to chose what option you prefer. If you like counting your likes, go at it.
.
But if you’re like me and don’t like having numbers thrown at your face all day long, good or bad - you would just switch numbers off and Instagram could become what I see in it, a fascinating platform for self expression.
.
This system would have traps too - but at least it would be a start?
.
I know Instagram implemented changes in terms of controlling the time we spend on it - but I honestly don’t believe in this at all.
.
It’s, again, putting all the responsibility and guilt on the user, treating us as addicts... Which we probably are.
.
I believe in making people’s emotional lives easier, not more complicated. I believe we can create tools that bring us more freedom. And I really believe it’s time to take mental health seriously.
.
I would love to hear your thoughts on this!
