    I just recently removed IG from my phone. The people building trucks just to post on IG for the followers has gotten out of hand. Pair that with companies like Tacoma Beast that have a large following and go out west and do the things they shouldn’t that draws negative attention to the off road words that only fuels the tree huggers agendas. While social media has no doubt grown what we do, it definitely has the potential to do more harm than good.

    I’m planning to just stay safe in the AL TW thread.

    Not to mention the groups that host these “rally events” that post different pictures of a trip they did 3 years ago to make themselves seem relevant.

    But some of them do it to raise money, so good on them.

    The beauty of social media is you can pick and choose what you see/don't see. No sense in getting worked up on something stupid, just un-follow it, then you still get to see/participate in the good and fun stuff. Or you can choose to be a sensitive sally and think you're better than everyone else for not participating in anything lol

    I 100% agree with what you are saying, and at some point in the distant future I might go through the people I’m following on IG and remove everyone but close friends.

    That still does not remove the sponsored ads that people pay to get onto your feed so they can potentially get more followers though.

    'tis true though.

    most that don't participate in the "in" thing act like they are somehow cooler for not doing so.

    Finally took the time to call in my custom length brake lines for my truck's rear end... went with steel braided lines from Crown Performance. They're building them at 29" long. Now all that's left is going to the junkyard for the leaf springs.

    that's fine, but they have to voice their distaste in what others are doing? it's like announcing that you do crossfit, or that you're vegan....nobody cares.

    "I don't do IG it's stupid"

    nobody cares lol

    Having a distaste for the ways some people use IG is not the same!

    This is a bit of a hypocritical statement isn't it? Hell, especially on TW. There are plenty of times where things could have just been "unfollowed and not have said a word" but yet that wasn't what happened.
