I've been contemplating getting rid of Instagram, I can post on Reddit or other platforms and get way more views, likes and feedback but IG has always been a struggle, You have to put a lot of time into posting, properly tagging, etc. for a fraction of what you get on all the others.

This guy, Dave Morrow, who is a seriously awesome photographer, decided one day to nuke all of his social media accounts and focus all that time taking better photos instead of posting all the time.
Morrow spends 9 months out of each year living out of his van and traveling the wildness on foot for an “endless” photography trip. With a background in aerospace engineering, he’s constantly performing experiments on himself in order to optimize his life and work.
In 2017, he had the idea for an experiment that most popular photographers would probably find unthinkable: completely quit social media. But since Morrow is a self-described “all or nothing” type of person, he couldn’t just stay out of his accounts. Instead, he decided to delete them completely.
At the time, Morrow had about 1 million followers on Google+, 500,000 on Facebook, and 15,000 on Instagram. 1.5 million followers — gone.
