In the opinion of users, Instagram is losing focus from its initial objective, photographs, and valuing other more dynamic content, such as videos and Reels. Because they were detecting a change, recently, a wave of reactions emerged, through which users asked to return to the original format.
With the motto “Make Instagram Instagram Again”, personalities such as Kim Kardashian, Kylie Jenner and Chrissy Teigen, as well as users who are not known to the general public, shared their discontent with the direction of the social network.
On Twitter, in addition to the motto that circulated on Instagram, a user said that the social network should stop “trying to be TikTok”, as users only want to see “beautiful photos” of friends, instead of content posted on Reels. Overall, people are asking for the platform to bring back the experience it once had.
