Not an attempt to refute your points, but just some input. IG is the only social media platform I’m still on, and I don’t think anyone except meme accounts, influencers, brands are posting anymore.

1. My wife and I have been joking for a couple of years about the large number of old acquaintances & family members that follow us that haven’t posted in years. They still watch every story we post though!

2. IG just re-introduced the ability to sort your feed chronologically. When I first looked at my chronological feed, it was immediately clear that they took it away because there wasn’t enough new content anymore. I follow between 250-300 accounts and there is consistently less than 20 accounts posting a day (and those are mostly meme or ‘influencer’ accounts).

It is possible that I’m just following boring people though.

Do... you not have friends or what? I'm even too old (35) to be in the IG niche generation but my IG is active and lively... no meme accounts, no brands followed whatsoever.

lol. When I say that I might be following boring people, that implies that I am boring, I suppose.

I dunno, some people I’m friends with do post regularly, but a lot of them have become mostly lurkers over time.

This is just to say that I don’t think IG is different than Twitter in that way, a smaller percentage of people post the majority of content now.
