We can all agree on one thing: we spend way too much time on Instagram. And for that matter, it's important to know the do's and don'ts of Instagram.
1. One photo per day, please.
I will only like one of your pictures, so if you double, or even worse, triple Instagram in one day, you can assure yourself you aren't getting my likes. You may be important, but not that important to get all those likes.
2. Know the days of the week.
You got your Selfie Sunday, Man Crush Monday, Transformation Tuesday, Woman Crush Wednesday, Throwback Thursday, Flashback Friday, and Saturday—well, those are usually the drunk pictures you don't recall posting.
3. Likes for likes, always.
If I am continually liking your pictures and am receiving no love in return, you best believe I will be unfollowing you.
4. Filters and editing are crucial.
Make sure you use a filter but don't overdo it. If you look as orange as an Oompa Loompa, it's obvious you really jacked up the saturation on that picture.
5. Hashtags.
We all love the hashtags, but just don't overdo it. #knowyourlimit
6. Caption game on point.
You better have a killer caption. if you can't think of even a semi-fitting caption, then I can't think of a valid reason to like your picture.
7. Refrain from the collages.
Picstitch was so 2012—at all costs please attempt to not post a collage of a bunch of pictures you can't even really distinguish between.
8. Always remain Instagram active.
If you only post two photos a year, are you even worthy of being called an Instagrammer? People like you shouldn't even be allowed access into their account after so many weeks apart from it.
9. Be a careful creeper.
If you're going to be 68 weeks deep into someone's profile, you better be extra careful of that liking finger. Try explaining that mishap to the person the next time you run into them. #awkward
