Hello everyone!

I’m back again with this month’s blog post.The topic that I’m discussing is about zero posting or dead posting on social media.I’ve been coming across feeds on my Instagram where the trend of dead posting is popping up everywhere!

Well, I believe it’s true because I myself have not posted a single picture since October last year. It’s not like I’ve not clicked pictures that are Instagram worthy rather my gallery is full of pictures that may get me good amounts of likes and comments. Yet, I just don’t feel like uploading them and I don’t know why?

I’ve been doing a social media detox for weeks now and trust me it feels good to save myself from endless scrolling.

Here are a list of things that I feel like why zero posting/ dead posting is the ‘it factor’ now and why I like it:

• Instagram story: Basically people just upload pictures on their stories these days without posting them.Earlier , both feed and story used to be uploaded simultaneously by the users for engagement.Now, it’s just story and no more feed.
• Too much of marketing: I miss the old Instagram where we could just click pictures of our food, pets, hands , clouds, flowers basically everything on Instagram feed with hashtags like, like for like and followforfollow.Nowadays, the moment we open Instagram , there are brands and people selling and recommending us some products just because it’s out there! I mean hello! Is it really that good? Did it work for them? Nobody knows.
• Influencers and their influencing: I’m sorry to say but I’ve never liked the idea of influencing people. I mean c’mon we’re all unique individual. You don’t need to buy or wear or apply or go somewhere just because popular people are vouching for them!People literally get paid or sponsored to advertise them. Learn to embrace authenticity.Find your own style, Go to place that you really like, buy skincare that really suit your skin and not because so and so are promoting them.
• Too much of muddled contents: Now, the next are content creators. Some contents are really nice and you do get to learn so many positive things from there on the other hand some content make no sense at all. People have started creating content to sell content to content creators! Phew! that was long.Anyways, be mindful of what you see and scroll.
• A frenzy of emotion: This I’m literally saying is because I go through roller coaster of emotions while scrolling through my feed. I mean first you see some protest going on and in the next moment there is bloodshed, and the next you’re seeing is some dead ass meme and then upon further scrolling you see some funny videos and you start laughing and furthermore you’re watching how to dress like old money , then some crazy AI generated pictures and lastly you end up in the dark humour page.I mean 10 minutes of scrolling and you’ve literally been through thousands of emotions already.
• Peace over chaos: Since, I am not active on social media, I can indulge myself in things that really matter.Talk to someone over the phone, finish up my pending task, declutter my spaces, re arrange my furnitures, watch some wholesome movie, tend my plants,physically go out to meet people,do some exercises.I feel like myself again.

I feel people have started realising like me that not every moment needs to be captured and posted.Some things are better kept private.Seeking validation from people that you don’t actually know in person is not wise.Some people don’t even like or comment on your posts cause they’re there just to keep up with you.Also I’ve never seen successful people waste their time in posting on social media because they’re too busy on focusing on their growth.Nobody knows the reality behind the virtual world. Let enigma and privacy be your new trend!

With love
