I am on a crusade to regulate my wife's instagram usage and will pretty much ban social media for my children (or at-least heavily regulate it). My wife agrees that she is much happier on the aggregate when she uses instagram less. Having worked in industries close to social media, the people here have no qualms about doing anything possible to increase revenue, whats worse is how smart some of the people are.

Smart people can use instagram, I'm not sure what you're getting at.

That sentence referred to the people working at Instagram, not the people using Instagram. The poster meant that it is sad that smart people spend so much time and energy trying to get people addicted to these things.

i meant more like those who are doing whatever to increase revenue for their companies not actual users themselves.
