the instagram accounts you need to unfollow now

Instagram’s got a hold on me. For way too long. I recently gave you here a list of reasons why people often get unfollowed and May also talked about it last week the terror of likes, but now it’s time to clean up your own follower list. At least your feed is filled again with the people you really like. Here they come:

That person you met three years ago during a round trip

You were backpacking for a few months, met a ton of people, took a lot of photos together, but now two years have passed and you don’t really have much to do with the person in question anymore. And definitely not with their updates. Unfollow.

The account you were forced to follow by a friend/colleague

Because there are so many cute kitten photos on it, but you’re actually more of a dog person. Unfollow.

The acquaintances who never followed you back

But always watch all your Stories. Very strange Insta people, this. Unfollow. Or just block them, at least they know you noticed they were watching your videos.

Someone who spams their account with baby photos

Moms out there, don’t hate me. I really think your kids are the cutest, but I also think you are very nice so occasionally throw in a nice picture of yourself. Then I promise not to unfollow you. But until then…

The ‘who is this anyway?’

Exactly. Bye.

Someone who leads a very different life than it seems

And by that, I mean people whose Instagram is just not a representation of their real life. They post as if they are in Jamaica or something, knowing they are just sitting comfortably on the couch in the Netherlands. I find that annoying. Or am I just being picky?

Someone who reuses photos

But just a bit too often and not as throwbacks, but just photos they already posted online two weeks ago. Yawn.

After a really nasty sex video

Sorry Paay, I pressed the unfollow button.

Who is really funny on Instagram is Jeroen Pauw. Promise.
