Sometimes I wonder why Instagram is such an important thing lately. To some it’s work. For some it’s the place where they are famous. For me.. For me it’s the place where I try to influence, but the last two weeks my likes has changed drastically and I even lost 400 followers in 2 days. I’ve been testing the times to post since I have a bigger following in Europe but so far I’m still clueless..it is weird to me cause I have 56k followers. On a good day in Europe I get 2000 likes on one picture. But since I got back to Sydney, my likes went from 2k to 900 total. I’m like: bro.. So I posted at like 11pm here and 7am here. Basically everyone is awake so I asked my girls to post for me. They posted a picture at 5pm Amsterdam time and for some reason my picture did hit the 1k likes.. I even woke up early two days to see if it changed.I’m confused about what people want to see. I tried to post art. Maybe that was the reason, still the likes didn’t go past 700. How come I have 56k followers and the engagement is SHIT. Then I thought: “okay it’s the shoes” - people just didn’t like it, no hype around the sneaker I was wearing so they just don’t like it. I feel like you are all creeps. Instagram is a creep place, checking up on other people’s lives, seeing what they are doing. We are all guilty, we are all stalkers - cause remember, these 56k, you do see it and look at it but there is no action. But.. why on earth do you follow me then. What on earth do you wanna see. I am not a blogger, don’t expect me to pose in clothes I don’t even like. I’m a designer. When I wake up, my computer is my tool and Filling Pieces is my job. I’m an artist as well - I illustrate, but most people don’t even follow me for that anymore, like they used toInstagram makes stupid people famous. I’ve said it before. I don’t want to be rude but a selfie of a pretty girl who does nothing but posting her face from the same angle and the same tongue gets more likes than a piece of art or one of my sneakers I worked hard for. Don’t forget your highlight is still on fleek yeh, o wait you lashes aren’t on the right place and your eyebrow comes off.. Bro.. Go climb a fucking mountain and then we talk about struggle. Sometimes I just don’t get it and still I find that people who work their asses off should get more exposure. What do you think? That the owners behind Filling Pieces are lucky because they seem to have everything now? Do you even know they stay up working till 3am to finish the collection your about to rock next season? Do you know how many samples it takes and trips to the factory and how less they sleep to get it done in time? Do you even know how hard they work. But what they get back is hate.. And these haters should be ashamed for such behavior..This being said and done. I’m going to distance myself from Instagram. I’ve been less active lately anyway cause my real day job is busier than keeping Instagram active - cause that’s where the real money comes from so I can pay my bills, Instagram still doesn’t do that. I still find it odd, 56k followers but the likes aren’t equal to the follow.. And I still don’t know how to fix that. It isn’t actually something I have to work for. It’s not my job to get likes. I don’t get paid for it. Damn, I love story times cause half way I realize that it’s just Instagram we are talking about. But to all these 56k people, I see you, I see you. GBU -- source link
