10 Instagrammers You Don’t Want to Be

It’s safe to say that almost everybody’s on the Instagram bandwagon. With a 100 million active users, and 40 million photos uploaded every day, Instagram is an app the world’s learned to embrace. It’s a beautiful and fun way to share your life by snapping a photo and making your friends feel that exact moment. With that said, however, there are some pet peeves with the photo-sharing app. You may have fallen victim to one of these bad characters.

1. The Narcissist. You know who they are: THE SELFIES! “Here I am in my car…in my room, at the beach… at Starbucks, at any other normal everyday place! Look at me! I’m so cute!” Sometimes, it doesn’t even matter where they are.

2. The Insecure Teenager. “I look sooooo ugly in this picture, but I’m posting it anyways!” We all know you’re fishing for compliments, so don’t play coy in your replies.

3. The 24 Hour Poster. Posts multiple pictures in a period of 24 hours. So many snapshots that you’ve begun to scroll past them in your feed. A common case for this is a series of selfies, too.

4. The 2-Weeker. Posts a picture every 2 weeks and you never see them.

5. The Para-grammer. The IG-er who writes a novel for their caption. This is “insta-gram.” Not “let’s write a novel and get it published”-gram.

6. The Non-Caption. Never hashtags or writes a caption. What are we looking at here, people?! A fountain? A swan? Your car? Someone else’s car? The car next door?

7. The Pic Stealer. The one who posts an awesome picture casually omitting the fact that it was taken by someone else, or stolen from Tumblr. Believe it or not, you will eventually lose a piece of your followers’ picture trust. Have fun with that.

8. The Infinite Hashtagger. #the #iger #that #hashtags #every #word #in #the #sentence #and #wants #tomakesurethatitisthelongesthastaginthehistoryofhastagsthatbytheendofityouwillwanttogougeyoureyeballsoutwithspoons. This serves as their own attempt to squeeze out a few more followers. Face it. It’s not happening.

9. The Irrelevant Hashtagger. The IGer that puts hashtags with their photo that have nothing to do with their picture. This IGer makes everything complicated.

10. The Quoter. The IGer that posts inspirational quotes to keep you going. Good in theory, but we all know it’s tough to make your followers take you seriously.

Now we’ve all been one or five of these characters but please keep them to a minimum. Remember: post responsibly.
