I've been avoiding it for years and finally gave in in the moment of weakness. I uninstalled it very soon after because I hated the experience so much and never gave it another thought nor chance. xd

I did that exact same thing with Twitter about seven years ago and I still don't understand why someone would use it

Twitter is trash, on the basis that it tries to create "engagement" as much as possible. Any engagement. So it'll force a bunch of hot topics and rage fuel down your throat.

However, as an artist, I kind of need a platform like Twitter. Thankfully there are alternatives. I stopped using twitter quite a while ago now.
