You're Doing It Wrong !

 At least once a week I'll receive a message or email from someone telling me what I did wrong on Instagram. "You shouldn't post more than once a day", "You should only post every other day", "You should post between these hours only", "You have to use these hashtags", "You have to follow and interact with influencers" and on and on. I absolutely refuse to play these ridiculous social media games just to garner more likes. What the fuck do likes accomplish anymore? Do they pay the bills? Do they grab the attention to curators, collectors, and museums? Why the hell should I or anyone else for that matter care who or how many iZombies press the little heart on Instagram as they scroll through at the speed of light. How soon is it until we see the first Millennial gravestone that reads "Here Lies Kim Kimberly, She had 120,000 Followers on Instagram". Laugh , but it's only a matter of time.

  1. I absolutely and whole heartedly agree with you - fuck Likes! And I´m not saying that because I rarely get more than ten from my whopping 135 followers. I´m supersick of social media. I´m making my own first booklet. That´s great, a physical thing you can hold in your hands and flicker thru. Something concrete.

  4. Phu! I actually sent the book to the printshop early this morning, and received a first test copy this afternoon! Talk about fast work. Haven´t picked up the physical book yet, but the sneek a peek that came by email looks really good. I tried to share it with you, but something´s not right in my end. Will try tomorrow.
