As someone into small and weird clothing brands, Instagram is the only way to keep up with their releases.

I miss the days when the world wide web was actually connecting everybody's websites, I stead of just now to access the 50 websites owned by the biggest corporations who want to keep you on their site

I'm a baseball fan who stumbled upon David Eckstein's website the other day, which seemingly was created before social media (and hasn't been updated since), and it really brought me back to that time.

Tattoo artists are the same way. I generally get to look at 20-30 examples of an artist's work before insta login pops up and I have to nope out.

And tattoo artists. I don't know how else you'd find good ones.

Another reason why I hate the merge to social media from websites. I don't have any social media (reddit can be argued a social media but being anonymous and not manicuring a profile def separates it) and its soooo frustrating when tattoo parlors are just like "everything is on our Instagram look there". Well, I ain't on Instagram and can't see anything. Put that shit on your website too!

Especially since Instagram (and Twitter and Facebook) are so hostile to anyone who doesn't have an account. But there's restaurants and stupid parking ramps now that have their own apps just to patronize, and the owners/employees think nothing of forcing people to download and install another data-draining app on their phones.

Oh no, what a huge issue. This consumer is going to miss out on more chances to consume.

It hurts the small businesses more, but I guess you don't care about them because capitalism bad

You're right, I don't care about boutique clothing companies that sell cloth for 200 dollars.

And I don't care about you! We've come full circle
