    My favorite part about deleting instagram was telling people that I don’t use instagram, lowering my screen time was only a plus 🤓

    As a content creator for the last 2 ish years I totally agree! Instagram has always been my least favourite platform. It’s addictive but draining and never leaves me feeling good about myself.
    Plus as a creator, you have all the ‘normal’ struggles of using social media as well as the struggles of tying your performance to the numbers.
    I prefer UA-cam a lot more because you’re more memorable to viewers and more likely to have impact. A reel might get 100k but not leave the lasting impression that a UA-cam video with 1k has.
    Great vide, new sub

      Yes!!! 🙌🙏 I totally agree with everything you said!! UA-cam is THE platform to build a community and have a long-lasting impression on people!

    Thats inspiring, I too had deleted socials after your previous old video. Lately you logged in and again deleted which was my exact situation in last few days. I too deleted it recently to focus on upcoming exams. Keep creating such good content :)

    I left for slightly different reasons. As a UA-camr. I often posted when a new channel, or videos would take off to people I once knew. But, when the channels wouldn’t be doing as good, I would be reluctant to upload.
    I no longer had a safe space to fail (in my mind). I also travel and dress nice, and people get an image of me appearing rich. So I found it dreadful to go work and see somebody from the app irl. Not because I was trying to look rich, but because I felt the weight of the gigantic expectations people created from seeing my pictures, expectations I could never fill.
    Feels much better going under the radar, great video!

    I laughed when you said you created two Instagram accounts. I created two Facebook accounts. I had one from 2007 (maybe 2008)-2023 (january), deleted it. Created another one in may/June 2023, deleted that one january 2024.
    Kudos 👏 girl. Social media is all the same. You've got this.

    I've been considering deleting Instagram. Too many hateful people and trolls on there. I can't delete my Facebook though because most of my friends/sober support is on there and as somebody who is disabled and spends the majority of their time at home and needs some sort of connection to people, that's what I use Facebook for but I find myself stressed out when using Instagram. Makes my blood pressure go up and I have high blood pressure problems and I'm trying to keep it down. Great video! Just subscribed!

    I apprecciate your videos on this topic a lot. My dream was always to be a fashion content creator and it's difficult to let it go. I never liked the part on social media of being fake and commenting on peoples' stuff just for sth in return. It's a sad industry.

    • @cassandraxpaz
      @cassandraxpaz  10 місяців тому

      Hey Angelica 🙏 I definitely feel like you can become a full-time fashion content creator while still approaching social media in a healthy way! If you provide value, post selflessly, (without expecting anything in return), and create passive income streams you can 100% make your dream a reality ✨

    Good for you, I hope it works!! This was great information for me as an older Millennial to understand what goes on behind the scenes of influencing. Also, don't feel bad if you relapse. These companies spend billions of dollars to hire people to keep us addicted!
