I don’t understand why they couldn’t just add it on instead of taking away the whole point of their app. Then they could keep the people that like Instagram for Instagram and get new people that want to see the videos. Or just have that new option open for people if they want it instead of forcing it on them.

Instagram needs to STOP.

I 100% agree with this. I use instagram to see my friends posts and chat with them, not to watch TikTok.. I use TIKTOK for that…

[@jfme8785]

I also agree, but then again Instagram does give us an option to add people we follow on the favorite list!!!

[@Cherry_-_]

Even though there was pictures on RUclips and Snapchat you would actually have to go into their account but the only thing that differs between them is that instagram had pictures everywhere pictures was there whole thing and now it’s all the same and they did it all for the money. It’s so crazy to me what company’s well do for money which includes making people addicted and people even get sad from not getting likes.

[@Zatoka.]

I don't like how every social media platform and ther servers are jumping on the scroll through 30 second videos bandwagon. There IS a reason behind this, and that's to lower our attention spans, and make us so easily amused that we will spend hours looking at essentially nothing, and give them loads of money.

[@samya.s]

i love these podcasts! i listen to them on spotify

[@vdks07]

the only people who will use instagram reels are the people who refuse to use tiktok and want to use instagram but it's nothing they'll profit off of that much

@dramamama/ @benoftheweek
Hi Ben! I do need help with a situation before we have to get back to school!
So basically there was a boy in my school that I'd never met before and didn't even have classes with but i saw him litterly EVERYWHERE in the halls during passing period and stuff and I noticed he was really cute! So I developed a crush on him and there was this girl that was supposed to be one of my best friends who in a conversation when she asked who I liked I told her this boy. Well turns out at one point she'd liked him and (even tho she got a bf) ig she didn't like that I liked this boy so she went to him and told him a bunch of bullshit about how I was stalking him and following him taking pics of him and shit. Well he got so freaked out that on the last 2 days of school he went to the principle asking for help. I told the principle what really happend and I didn't get in trouble but the principle didn't tell this boy what actually happend so now this boy thinks he actively has a stalker. Before we go back to school i really need to know what to do. I've loved binge watching your pod and Thank youu!!
