Blog Discussion or informational site published on the World Wide Web The emergence and growth of blogs in the late 1990s coincided with the advent of web publishing tools that facilitated the posting of content by non-technical users who did not have much experience with HTML or computer programming. Previously, a knowledge of such technologies as HTML and File Transfer Protocol had been required to publish content on the Web, and early Web users therefore tended to be hackers and computer enthusiasts. In the 2010s, the majority are interactive Web 2.0 websites, allowing visitors to leave online comments, and it is this interactivity that distinguishes them from other static websites.[2] In that sense, blogging can be seen as a form of social networking service. Indeed, bloggers not only produce content to post on their blogs but also often build social relations with their readers and other bloggers.[3] However, there are high-readership blogs which do not allow comments.

What I am concerned for is that it has become so incredibly fake. Everyone who posts on Instagram, posts their best pictures of themselves or posts to make money. Influencers have changed this entire platform and turned Instagram into a money making, promoting surgery, lowering everyone else’s self esteem. It used to be such a fun app where people didn’t care about what they posted.
