Social platforms have come a long way and there presently exists lots and lots of them. Some are widely used globewise while others remain in the shadows.
However, within few years of its uprise, Instagram has become one of the most dominant social platforms with a rapidly increasing user ratio ever since its launch in October 2010 — According to a publication of the site’s statistics, there’s presently a total of 500 million users worldwide.
Together with its beautiful and readily comprehensible user interface, the platform possesses great technology, amazing filters, and it’s constantly updated to meet users’ desires and hence make the usage of the platform easy and fascinating. All these play major roles resulting to its dominance. However, the most amusing and inspirational of it all is the Instagrammers themselves.
Sure, most social platforms offer some or all of the features listed above, however, the experience appears absolutely exceptional and inspiring via Instagram.
Instagrammers love and utilize the platform for diverse reasons and in diverse ways.
First off, Instagram makes it totally effortless for them to explore the world of photography, nature, poetry, vines, etc, from all around the world, right in the comfort of their homes.
Secondly, they easily meet people with similar interests and are inspired to get better at what they do once they see people doing the same.
And this brings to the topic of discussion: Instagram as an inspirational social platform. Below hence, are 3 simple reasons I personally consider Instagram the most inspirational of them all.

Instagram comprises of people from all class and races, each with a story to tell. As a result of the diversity in personalities, Instagramers rock the platform in their unique and personally convenient ways.
Also as a result of the different skills each person possess, Instagram provides room for meeting and interacting with both like and unlike minded fellows. It also makes learning new things quite effortless.
Instagrammers are like one family — they never hesitate to state their individual opinions on cases, both the praises and the critics.

Cons
- As a result of the high-quality images and video clips, the platform agreeably consumes more data compared to any other social platform. Hence, you might consider purchasing a data bundle before joining the trend.
- Also, because the platform enables users to venture into any field of interest they want, lots of people tend to engage in activities prohibited by Instagram privacy policy: in the likes of explicit sexual contents and violence. Hence, if you’re a minor, you might want to stay off random accounts to avoid unintentionally getting exposed to explicit contents.
However, Instagram consistently strives to ban ill-behaved accounts to make the platform risk-free and enjoyable for all.
Not only does Instagram inspire and entertain, it also helps you discover you — it helps you discover your style, interest, passions, and dreams.
The world is full of beauty. Hence, when a token of beauty is shared with happiness, love and with a brief inspiring caption beneath, magic taking the form of motivation and goosebumps is bound to happen.
Take a brief tour around Instagram in your free time or find out what inspires you and embrace it. Most importantly, never quit living your ideal lifestyle. Good luck!
