2. Instagram is a platform where
people post photos, videos,
stories and interact either with
close friends or famous people.
I chose Instagram because it is
the platform where I spent the
most my free time, to be exact
2 hours and 33 minutes per day.
WHY INSTAGRAM?
4. WHAT TYPE OF “INSTAGRAMER” AM I?
An active social media
user who prefers to fly
under the radar.
01
THE PASSIONISTA
This type of people on social
media focus their time on
exploring and sharing their
passion with others online.
02
THE FAMILY PERSON
These social media users tend
to avoid technology but fell in
love with social media the
moment they realized they
could keep in touch with their
family
03
THE LISTENER
This article from Top Dog made realice
what type of social media user I am. I feel
identified with these three.
9. MY BUBBLE ANALYSIS
My Instagram feed are things that I
like and catch my attention; for
example, I play volleyball, I really
like to combine clothes, share
memes and to be honest my
frustrated dream is to be a model. I
only follow accounts that I know
will instill in me information of my
liking, and I also ONLY follow
friends.
10. BUBBLE BURSTING
Despite being an athlete, I feel like I
don't eat like one, so to change that, I
started following accounts of nutrition,
exercise and quotes that I feel will
improve my day and my motivation. I
also love interior design, I wanted to
major in that but my schedule was too
busy, I want to do something like that
in the future so I followed accounts.
13. POST-NEW FEED
After following 19 new accounts,
my feed expanded to different
images and videos. I saw a
difference in my feed during the
week, some of the old accounts
that I interacted with still appeared
on my main page, but now
combined with the new accounts.
The algorithm of my "For you page"
did not change much, I kept seeing
posts related to old accounts with a
few posts from the new accounts.
14. NEW FEED ANALYSIS
In the future I will consider
following accounts that provide me
with positive information and that
have an impact on my life, I realized
that many of the accounts that I
followed do not promote mental
health or healthy bodies.
15. AFFORDANCES
Relationship between an animal and the
environment (Gibson, 2015). This definition
gives a lot of sense to an affordance, if we
talk about social networks it refers to the
relationship of the human-platform. There
are two types, low affordances and high
affordances. Low affordances are small
functions that people use in the platform.
High affordances is the purpose of the
platform.
