This week I’m writing about how I think Instagram constructs me as a user. Since the newer updates in the passed few months I get this notification very often.. almost every time I open the app. Instagram really wants me to turn on my notifications. I think that Instagram is trying to change the way the users consume the material. Instagram used to be a platform where you would upload cool images, it was a photography app. With that in mind, it was an application where you would check it every day or so at MOST and see what was new. Now with instagram it has turned into a platform for memes, eye candy, sports highlights, news, “public figures,” and other advertising or eye candy posts. So now that Instagram has succesfully incorporated most apps into one, they want you to check it very often. With notifications on, I would get alerts probably once or twice an hour reminding me to go back on. And by putting the option to turn on my notications in my face whenever I open the app I am definitely more inclined to do it. Instagram wants me to check up on it all day.
