This is the best application and it's working properly.

Also those who try so fucking hard to seem sophisticated by uploading themselves in every fucking museum or event and always bragging about how much they love art...😧

If you dislike the deflater you should probably keep them. They say more about you than they say about themselves. Translation = Stop being Jealous and work harder bitch!!!

This is fab. I deleted all meme accounts. So, when I want a meme hit I have to search for them. Luckily I know some underground meme accounts and I like to see the trail from some Portuguese guy's account make it on the big stage or in some cases when they never do and there is a thought just left hanging there with 13 love heart "Likes". Anyway it sounds more trouble than I have depicted but it isn't. It is more for the idea of preserving my own personal acknowledgement for people's hard yakka.

not every selfie is taken by a raging narcissist, but by all means, unfollow any and all accounts that stir you up that way!

I just purged my instagram feed last night. (But then went on to follow accounts I had been eyeing). It was so very much needed.

Ellie • 8 years ago

I may be the only one but I actually like the food accounts! I find it motivational and inspirational to watch what other people eat. Probably because I'm not a good eater myself, so I like to be motivated to eat better :) https://lifestylebyeblog.wo...

same!

Rebeca • 8 years ago

Great post, I have to clean my social networks asap ;)

Style Context • 8 years ago

this is too good. the ex (my bf's ex) accidentally followed me on pinterest a couple years ago and i'm pretty sure is still following me. awk. i totally don't blame her, though, i have a pretty cool pinterest feed.

Stylish Disaster • 8 years ago

Oh, Insta. I've never had a problem with following exes (or current partners of exes) but it's the hate follows that I can't seem to quit. The contrived outfit pics, the bad Photoshop jobs, the cringeworthy plastic surgery... hard to quit, but you're right that you're better off just ignoring it. And the 'Don't You Have a Job?' accounts are the WORST. Yeah, I get it, you're on the beach with a cocktail in hand and I'm pulling my hair out over an Excel formula gone awry. Shut it.

Can't make me quit my 'you've got kids and have quit every other interest since they came along' schadenfreude feed, though.

This post is genius! I am currently following a lot of people I know personally but whose instagrams have zero interest. That would be the socially-I-have-to-follow.

Brieana • 8 years ago

One of my new year social media resolutions was to stop looking at my ex's soon-to-be-fiancé's public page. 14 days and counting lol

Alba B. • 8 years ago

Dear Leandra,

does the insta account of Kim Kardashian West falls into the compulsive selfie-poster?

Kyah • 8 years ago

Safe to say I'm probably guilty of following every single one of these people... but will I unfollow them? Only if one day soon I get sick and can be bothered...

Elizabeth Tamkin • 8 years ago

What about the new person you THINK your ex is dating or the new person your ex liked a photo of??? at that point, just get off social media altogether.

Ashli Molina • 8 years ago

Thank God I don't have any exs or HERs in my life...

Everyone else, lemme go do dat now

starryhye • 8 years ago

I did a massive unfollow on Insta recently and it felt great! What about
"The Hubble-braggart"? Pics of expensive purses and shoes ("OMG, my hubby is sooooo thoughtful!") fancy vacations and other superficial crap. They post pics to incite jealousy in others, but if you're smart you can see that they're desperate for attention. Remember peeps, Instagram is not real life; It's the highlight reel!

Style Context • 8 years ago

i cannot stand when people brag about their significant others on social media. it really makes me want to unfriend/unfollow them but i know some of these people in real life, so that would be rude.

Olivia • 8 years ago

The worst! I have to unfollow those too since Christmas is their favourite time to brag

_A • 8 years ago

I'm a gym queen, compulsive selfie-taker, AND post too many pictures of cats. Feel free to follow! www.instagram.com/adriannag...

Kelly • 8 years ago

Agree with all of it. Only thing I would add is the annoying person who posts nothing but their significant other. #cheesyweddinghashtag #soandsotietheknot

Modupe Oloruntoba • 8 years ago

I think let them have it for a little bit (when they're new together, after the proposal/wedding) - big moments in general. but if they're still posting pictures of their ring a month after the proposal... unfollow.

Selene • 8 years ago

hahaha loved this post so so much, definitely need to unfollow some of the accounts you describe!

Denisse • 8 years ago

My Instagram cleanses don't involve going without Instagram for a week/month/year/whatever. They involve purging my follow list. Another really good one to add:

- The person who hasn't posted anything in 20+ weeks. Because clearly they haven't been contributing to your finely curated feed.

Marta • 8 years ago

Don't forget to unfollow "This handsome boy you've never seen". You love his style non lachant, his long blond hair surfing, his sexy tattoos; an extremely temptation you could never have. Because to be honest, we have no idea of where he is living, where he is working (probably he is model...)... nothing!! Is just an illusion hahahhaha

Olivia • 8 years ago

The Dashboard Confessional reference made me so happy.

I have one to add though...the bragger! Two direct quotes that made me want to unfollow so badly:

1. On a workout selfie "#imherewherewereyouat7am" (or "I'm here where were you at 7am" for those who don't care to speak hashtag)

2. On a Christmas card "#myfriendsarebetterthanyourfriends" (My friends are better than your friends)

I cannot fathom why people think this is a good thing to do.

Stylish Disaster • 8 years ago

Ohh, the workout selfies. Barf. And the whole #squadgoals thing can just die already. Yes, you have friends. We all have friends. Yours aren't better than anyone else's.

Denisse • 8 years ago

My response to that first one would be: commuting to work you b****! lol Sometimes if I bother reading the hashtags I can't help but think that some people are just so full of shit on Instagram!

Emma Burton • 8 years ago

It feels so good to be freeeeee. I unfollowed people that I don't like at all...and remind of shit I don't want to see. It was liberating.

Let's not forget the religious zealot and the political idiot who needs to convert everyone to their side.....unless that's your thing of course....

Marianne R • 8 years ago

I'm with you on all of the exes' accounts and the not funny memes but not regarding the food account! It might make you mad/hungry sometimes but I find it inspirational (unless it's someone tagging his bowl of cereals with "#foodie", cereals and milk are not "#foodie"-material).
It's like the Manrepeller newsletter you know? When I saw the title the other day "skinny jeans are dead", I was like "what?! This is fashion dictatorship!" And it did piss me off, but am I going to unfollow? No, it's only natural we don't always agree.

Amelia Diamond • 8 years ago

So very true, Marianne Ronsee! (thank you for not unfollowing at our skinny jeans proclamation) but one thing: milk and cereal is the only meal I can make :(

Marianne R • 8 years ago

Not to worry, if you add a few fruit pieces ordered symmetrically in your bowl, you can use the hashtag "foodie" righteously :)

Em • 8 years ago

So the best instagram accounts to follow are the ones that are a perfect balance of selfies, travel pics, food pics, etc. If it's too much of one thing it gets annoying.

GRACIE FOSTER • 7 years ago

i agree.I did a massive unfollow on Insta recently and it felt great!.. much needed feature by instagram. came in too late.

Fee_DP • 8 years ago

I feel like this is pretty much all there is on Instagram

Krista Anna Lewis • 8 years ago

What about your friends?!

Elizabeth Tamkin • 8 years ago

The friends who don't actually *know* me (Kendall)

Tania • 8 years ago

TLC just started playing in my head

Fee_DP • 8 years ago

All listed above!

Bels TorchĂ© • 8 years ago

Haha I guess if we all unfollowed all of the above, there were just two or three accounts to follow.. I liked the post, though :)

Kelly Hackbarth • 8 years ago

When I looked at the draft of 7854 dollars, I accept that my friend’s brother was like really creating cash in his free time with his PC. . His aunt's neighbor has done this for only 10 months and by now repaid the loan on their home and bought a new Car . Look here for details.

It's all about Instagram...hey but it could very well be about WhatsApp, Netflix or hey maybe, just maybe...it could even realllly be about the secret of making money at home....hmmm...

Melanie@Toots + Dill • 8 years ago

You've pretty much described my instagram and my Facebook. I did delete my big ex from everything a few years ago and it felt so amazing!!!

Leena Gilson • 8 years ago

My current salary is more than 4200 dollars each week. Over a year ago I was in a horrible condition , jobless and no bank credit. Thanks to one of my friends who showed me a way td where I was able to gather myself and making average of 54 d/h. So it can change your life as it has changed mine. http://onlinejobs.trade
