I'm with you. One of those things that looks like it would be really easy if you go fast enough.

It's hilarious to me that this was a problem for you.

It's not real "problem", I actually only checked it maybe twice a day, and posted maybe once a month at most. I just find it pointless and stopped caring about what people post, because most of it is just crap or some braggadocios nonsense. What is the point of even checking for that shit? Obviously not everything on it is garbage, but around 90% is. I find it hilarious that people don't find Instagram a "problem", it has been on a steady downhill ever since facebook bought it out. Instagram is straight garbage now, and if you disagree you're a fool. It's just a new form of advertising, stalking, and a crying for attention. If that's what you intend to use it for, all the power to you, but I want no part any longer, and new years is a good excuse to alleviate that pointless daily habit.
Plus a new years resolution isn't about "problems" per se, it's about making one better to enjoy the finer things in life. I feel like life will be better when I filter out the stupid shit posted on the gram, and the most efficient way to do that is by just ignoring it altogether. For example, even frequenting the internet could be viewed as a barrier to enjoyment of the finer things in life.
Anyway, what's your resolution? You must be doing everything right in life to laugh at other resolutions, but omitting your own. I somehow doubt it though, the 6000 posts reinforce that lol

Took that to heart, yeah? Also, I've been here for nearly 7.5 years, of course I'm going to have a high post count. I love this site, though, I don't care if posting here daily is wrong.
I just use Instagram to follow my favorite bands and some pro riders because it kinda gives you a look into their personal lives and it's cool to see them doing things other than what they're famous for. I follow friends as well because it's nice to see what my friends are up to since I don't live close to most of them anymore. Either way, I don't really care what you think about it or whether you use it or not. It just seemed a bit silly for a New Years resolution to rule out exclusively Instagram, rather than just saying "social media altogether" or whatever but good on you for trying to change yourself for the better. More power to you.

locomotive are you following your actual friends? That may be the problem.

Obviously, but it's much better when they show the photo in person. Instagram was very addictive for me at the start, but then I slowed down with the posting a checking it. My friends took notice and would ask if I saw their posts, or if I saw what so and so posted. If not they would show me and we would have a laugh or a discussion about it. I don't know, it seems like a better way to actually enjoy it for me instead of double tapping on a screen or leaving a comment. I follow pros, some stars and obviously mostly friends. The fact still remains, most of it is pointless shit that could be enjoyed in a different fashion. Id rather focus on my shit on my own time, and dedicate time to catching up with friends when I'm actually with them.
