It feels like only yesterday that #DeleteFacebook was trending in the wake of privacy scandal after privacy scandal. Now it's that other Facebook (sorry, Meta)-owned social media platform that's facing its own moment of reckoning. Yep, Instagram is in trouble.

The photo-sharing app (although that very definition is the issue here) has dominated the news this week, after a couple of Kardashians took to Stories demanding, "make Instagram Instagram again." This prompted a response from Instagram's CEO – and it was a response that didn't go down well with creatives. Maybe it's time to check out some of the other best social media platforms for emerging artists.
