Do you think the current trendy online generation even likes shoes and clothes?

How many do you think just "Do it for the 'gram" then resell?

I see so many items for sale all the time VNDS, only worn once, etc.

I'm not sure what's worse, the dedicated resellers or the "For the 'gram" peeps that are only buying for a simple picture for likes. At least resellers have been around for a long time. 

I probably sound like some old man shaking his cane at the interwebs
 
buys shoes>take pics>post on ig>sell/trade for another>take pics>post on ig....repeat

That's the case with other materialistic items too
 
IG is awful when it comes to vain people.

I would love to take it back to the AIM and Nokia brick days when you had to actually communicate with people.

Hashtags need to go away too.
 
i just use Instagram to try compliment women, so no i dont care shoes and clothes...we all shop at H&M and wear NMDs anyway

 By perpetuating the false lives we share with the world through carefully curated photos, we have created an alternate reality where only the most ideal and palatable versions of ourselves can exist. For many, escaping this world has become an impossibility. How well we curate ourselves on this virtual platform has built itself into the way we date, who we befriend, who we hire for jobs, and it's changed how we see others and how we see ourselves. So how do we change? First, we have to admit that we are not being ourselves; we have to detach from our public personas. We have to admit we've been living within the confines of other people's expectations, ruled by fear of judgement. We have to stop comparing lives and realise how our judgements affect one another. Let's ask ourselves why we are so quick to tear each other down. Let's stop making one another feel unsafe and afraid to be who we are. Let's acknowledge and celebrate all various forms of beauty and self-expression. Let's reclaim our humanity through love and respect for ourselves and others and by unabashedly and unapologetically be ourselves. Let's get free. We are so much more than the tiny boxes we are trying to squeeze into.

The game was so sweet before IG when NT had the inside info on the new releases.
Once everyone had the info the game changed.
