Do you feel any competition on instagram?

This message is mostly to instagramers :)

Recently I noticed, that every time I post a photo on Instagram, I always compare how many likes it collects, comparing to the same-topic photos in my followers network. And what is interesting I like to compare numbers :D

Does anybody experience the same sort of implicit competition?

I used to get very anxious when I would post on Instagram especially when I had my notifications turned on. Now as I have gotten older I find I care less about the interactions I receive but more about the quality of each post. Especially as a media student it is sometimes difficult to not think about the quality of the content I am sharing with my followers.

Agree. But what is a driver for you to produce a higher quality content?

I think there's a part of me that associates being a media student with delivering high quality content on Instagram. So I guess there is still some pressure from society to "preform" well on the platform.
