I tend to agree whole heartedly, but at the same time, IG seems, IMO, to feel a lot less toxic than Twitter. It's a small sample set, and perhaps not really indicative of much besides my personal feeds, but IG definitely has a lot more self promotion, but my Twitter feed comes off far more as a place for people to air their quick take criticisms and gripes.

Shallow "hey look at me posts" don't bother me as much as just a lot of generally, even if mildly, negative thoughts and observations.

Admittedly, I've long had a very strained and irritated relationship with my Twitter feed, even if I still enjoy the people I follow personally. I just get a much more negative feeling when using Twitter. Just could be me though.
