Hey Friends Hope you all are doing well this Sunday. I had a pretty rough week with some personal stuff, but I'm feeling better now. Nonetheless though excited to write today's issue for y'all! R.I.P Instagram I know the title is kind of exaggerating but for real, I think Instagram is fucking up big time. Not only was my account compromised by thousands of bots recently, but all my designer friends have been complaining about reach being down. It's a very stressful task to try to predict how a computer algorithm works to best suit your business, I know most people don't care about this stuff but as a creative or a freelancer you need these platforms for business. I'm not sure Instagram is truly dead yet but sharing static posts that aren't reels seem to get less attention than ever. I really hope the design community continues to adapt to these ever-growing changes and doesn't ever get too discouraged and stop posting at all. I am just going to continue to do my thing and if a post flops you can always "Hide Likes;)". For what it's worth you can check out a video
