I have been noticing lately that around holidays social networks like Instagram start to get really intense. Basically everyone's tolerance for seeing good things happening in other people's lives starts to get extremely low.
On Thanksgiving everyone has to post about their multiple plates of food for the "SlamCam" or that they're bout to "Smash". Then all of the Thanksgiving downers get mad. Why, because you aren't eating that good?.. Oh you are.. Then stop being mad and post your food! Now y'all are enjoying Thanksgiving together and you aren't even in the same room. Oh you actually aren't eating that good?.. Then how about you make that move to someone's house who is? If they're sharing their food on Instagram, they should be willing to share in person too!
I just don't understand why people get offended about these Thanksgiving food pictures in the first place. Now people are going as far as saying they will unfollow anyone who posts pictures of their food. One, why are you so mad? Two, why do you think we care? We all have "the app". You can be unfollowed just as fast, and I will care even less. Many of us post subpar, one star, microwavable food year round, but when someone post a pic of a plate of that good stuff that their grandma put her foot in, that's a problem.
Usually no one cares what you post, but when everyone starts posting about the same thing, I admit it can get a little annoying. The way I feel is that, why can't we all just be happy for one another? We should all be able to enjoy the season and holiday by sharing what we love with our followers, whether it be: food, friends, or family. What's your opinion of posting Thanksgiving food pics on Instagram?
You have been warned if you get on Instagram this Thursday, you will be bombarded with family pictures and plates, so if you don't want to see them stay off of Instagram!
Good post as usual and funny too lol
