    There's a jeweler in New York with 20k followers and like Annette Bening in their advertisements following me and liking pictures of my daughter fishing.

That's weird. I follow some other hikers on Instagram, people I don't know but hike in the same area. There seems to be mutual agreement to like and comment on outdoors posts but not personal life posts. Post about mountain biking? Like. Post of daughter at a track meet? Scroll past.

I mostly like Instagram. It's the only social media I use anymore. Nobody I follow posts bullshit text posts (after trimming my list of one friend), so it's mostly a pleasant place to see what people, bands, or certain professional feeds are up to.
