I enjoy instagram a lot, but I browse my feed on my computer with and ad blocker in place which does definitely make it more pleasant because the ads can be pervasive.

The facebook induced out of order feed is still annoying, and it will devalue posters with whom you don't interact who do not already have a lot of followers (so, I need to like/comment my mum's posts to keep them appearing, but bbc nature - which is wonderful - will always appear) so it's worth being aware of that, but otherwise I enjoy seeing what's going on in friends lives, in a way that I don't see elsewhere. I am PICKY about who I folloe though, and do my best to avoid those with fakery in their posts. .
