From a personal experience I'm seeing a trend in making close friends and posting only to them. I'm not that IG person but more and more people of all ages care about privacy, more than I expected.

This was such a great read! Hard to disagree. More and more people are embracing the "blank slate", and I feel like Gen Z especially doesn't care that much about posting as for consuming content, so that's why they rarely or never upload to their own profiles. Social media has changed obviously, Instagram used to be a place to share your photos with friends and it grew to a influencer-occupied place, where sharing only to a select circle is not the preferred way of using the app. But hey, at least we lived through a moment of history where people used to share low quality photos taken from their iPhone 4/4s after putting on a filter to make them less detailed :)

Just recommended this to our readers 📖

I really enjoyed this article. I rarely post in feed these days. I've never posted a reel. I go back and forth with stories and how much I want to share. Do I want to be an open book? I don't think I do.
