Instagram Hiatus?

First I stopped posting. Then two weeks later I removed the app from my phone. How does someone go from posting edited reels with reflective captions and growing their "platform" to not posting at all? Well, it's a lot of things. Broadly my instagram use fell into two categories: professional and personal. On the professional side it is weird to post content to a platform that you do not control. Reels can be deleted. Instagram never approved me for any monetary compensation or bonuses. The editing became very glitchy to the point that I was having to re-do every step multiple times. Having "followers" but them not seeing your work because of algorithmic choices and changes. My reflective content was always counter-cultural to the platform and that was fine until engagement went way down compounded with the software glitches and I was like, there has to be a better way to share my work. 
On the personal side: I live a Covid-conscious life. Perpetually being shown the lives of others who don't is not good for my health. Enough said.
