You can let yourself be targeted, or let yourself be educated. It's about how you frame your situation.

Although I have to admit I don't use Instagram day to day. Twitter is better for learning things. Instagram ads are still one of the most powerful business tools in existence today though.

When I get something set up, making Facebook and Instagram accounts for it will be the first thing I do, personally.
Twitter if you hustle on there right you can use it as a business advancement tool and a social advancement tool. Perfect for networking simply due to the mass amount of users and accounts it boasts. Ultimate promotional tool.

That's what I was primarily using it for. All of my social media accounts are for my music.

I could never get my Instagram to pop...it has never reached above 165 followers. My life ain't that poppin...:mjlol:

My Twitter was at 1,200 followers and I was averaging 250,000 impressions for my tweets in a BAD week. Unfortunately I attracted to many haters...mainly trolls and racist Trump supporting white people and those are the ones that hack accounts and run targeted harassment campaigns to get people suspended/banned for nothing. That's the number one thing I dont like about Twitter...lots of haters.

some of us can handle IG. Stop using social media for just for fukking and feel liberated. Some nikkas whole IG is them chasing IG "models" and birds, then you jump out here thinking that's all anybody does.

Folks are so addicted to social media and their smart phones that they dont know how to live without it. The crazy part is that so many don't know how much time and energy they put into that shyt until they spend time off it and reexamine how they were acting when they were on it. A lot of people are doing things they wouldn't be doing normally if they didn't have a smart phone or social media. It's like the phone and the social media owns them. It's not a good look. Folks underestimating how addicted they are until they don't have access to their Facebook or smart phone.

OP..

I am not mad that you deleted your IG, but I don't think it is necessary to do so...

You just have to have self control as well as control which content you put on IG, make your account private, if you choose or simply go on there sparingly..

I network and recruit through social media. I specifically use Instagram to keep up with family and friends. My social interactions are fine. Not all of us care enough about strangers to compare our lives to theirs.

Maybe you should change the way you use these platforms?

I'm not alllll the way righteous with my follows (a few of those black yoga/fitness shorties :whew:) but I kinda like ig in that you can get a pretty decent stream of somewhat positive imagery of black folk (if that's something you dig)

as far as what I post, it's rarely on some stunting shyt (I'm broke), mainly on some goofy shyt to show that I don't take myself too seriously and have somewhat decent taste in music:yeshrug:

I haven't had ig for about a year and tbh It didn't improve my life or anything but I am mostly on twitter. Now I have to download it because there's no life outside and no other way to bag women
