I’d guess the simple answer may be that people don’t care/know, but for those that have ditched Facebook for whatever reason, yet still use Instagram, it’s a little surprising.
Is it partly a result of it being a more focused/limited form of social media that filters out some of the stuff people didn’t like from Facebook?
If most people answered honestly- they know it’s Facebook with the same disgusting privacy practices while using it actively funds some of the worst people on the planet… but reels are funny. Truth is they just like it and leaving it for the same altruistic reasons they’ve left other platforms isn’t as convenient because they’re addicted.
Sure they’ll have a million excuses for why they “can’t” delete their account there, but we all know it’s because reels go brrrrr. That’s the sad honest truth.
Downvote away.
Never watched a single reel/story or what ever they’re called but I’m still on instagram. Why? Because it’s my only social media account my friends know of. Also I met my SO there so I guess it has some sentimental value aswell. Don’t use the app though.
