I made an Instagram account about a year ago. It's alright, honestly I've only made 10 posts. In that year ive seen Instagram go from picture oriented to video oriented to compete with Tiktok. That was the whole point of Instagram was about pictures. I see guys that have been on there far longer than me, many who where regular members here, get sidelined by reels. How do you make reels in our hobby? You can, they aren't great. I see Instagram becoming less user friendly. Forums they're all about photography. However with Instagram and other outlets you can get perks and kickbacks, which I couldn't give two shits about. It's the way of things.
Which brings me to the con of forums, they're becoming less mobile friendly. The last update, i cant even see the front page. I click the banner and instead of sending me to the front it takes me back to the forum. I dunno if it's because of being mobile or what but.. same with posting pictures mobile. I've had difficulty, but figured it out, and have instructed new members how to, but I think that's a hindrance. Even though i have a pc/ laptop i still use my phone a vast majority of the time. Being mobile friendly is important. But im a millennial.
With so many game changers, you have to change the way you play the game.
