It's toxic. It's just people showing off their wealth, and then you go to comments section and it's like another forum people flaming each other over nothing. It's useless there is no benefit to it, it's pure negativity.

Here is a good article on instagram and the negative side effects it creates.

I'm not saying instagram can't be toxic. Certainly many people use it to flaunt wealth, and there is a huge psychological affect to using it.

But on Twitter, you have actual fake media being shared that also alter the viewpoints of the people reading it.

On YouTube you have people even more absurd than influencers in many ways as they flaunt wealth or draw in attention through some strange talent. Your viewing algorithm can lead you into only seeing specific types of videos to help engrain any world views you currently have.

Facebook has been used to assist countries in genocide. There is so many other things that can be said about Facebook, but that one pretty much seals the deal.

All three of those platforms also have absolutely horrible comment sections that are just as bad if not worse than Instagram.

Any social media you look at will have problems, but I don't think instagram sniffs the top 3 for negative affects.
