I think it's more accurate to say The Atlantic is over before Instagram is.

We've been using Instagram more than any of the other social networks. Not making a TikTok account. YouTube lost me forever with their invasive ad push. Facebook lost me with its over the top moderation and irrelevant & useless ads. My Twitter account was suspended for a SNL quote.

Instagram currently has relevant and generally well done ads, if anything. The videos are also captivating and addictive and currently not littered with ads. I think that if they put ads in the Reels, they'd drive away a lot of traffic. Right now you almost don't notice some of the ads, and the ones you do notice are generally well done. That's a big difference right there, in my opinion.

Instagram has a lot of fun educational content & accounts. TikTok seems to lack that - it's a pool of misinformation more than education in my experience.

Definitely going to disagree with The Atlantic here.

Atlantic has been around for over 150 years. The kids are moving away from Instagram, so unless Instagram is going to wait out the next generation and hope the grandchildren are going to make accounts, they are going to run into issues.
