It's pretty frustrating how the window of "attention" seems to be getting smaller and smaller. A photo could "live" on flickr for a decent amount of time. Instagram you get activity for a few hours to a day but the posts are still *there* after that and now snapchat/stories you've got a hard cap. but I guess it's easy to forget that instagram is fundamentally a platform for latte art and kittens and putting good photography on it is essentially a fringe use.

feigning interest posted:I've always felt that the original intention of instagram was to create this sort of ephemeral "this is what I did today/last night" posts but the format was more generic and people ended up using it in many different ways. Originally you could only upload pics that you had taken within the app and I've always said that instagram should add a feature to make posts delete themselves after a certain amount of time. It also really separated itself by not allowing external links within posts or allowing third party apps to post which were really good decisions imo. It forces you to create content exclusively for the instagram and not just link to another source. Exactly right. Which I think makes it especially frustrating when instagram has now become *the* place for photography because its both amazing and terrible as a way of sharing photography. the commodification of it is especially interesting and how contrived some posts are in the attempt to create that ephemeral feeling. I know people that bank a bunch of shots at once and change outfits just so they can a week off 'gram but still have posts every day.

feigning interest posted:It's also important to note that most regular people, along with gallery owners and curators, art directors and photo editors for major publications all use Instagram. Your 666 Flickr followers are all just dorkroom goons and foot fetishists(which is fine, I'm just saying) oh god I just about forgot how endemic fetish communities were on flickr.
