Rant #1 - Instagram review

pet peeve? pet hate?

I am pretty sure that every people must have one. Annoyance that can grow into intense hatred (i am exaggerated.i aware of that). My current pet peeve is the Instagram review posted by the seller I followed. Well..well. I know you are paid to do the review for the budding insta-sellers (insta-seller vs interstellar??) I was irritated when I scrolled down the Instagram newsfeed, it was only reviews from this one account.

For example, i followed this Instagram account that sells watch. Suddenly, when i scrolled my newsfeed, there are reviews from this "watch insta-seller". Reviews about makeup, detox drinks, gadget accessories, jeans and other unrelated items. How do you feel when you see these on your insta feed? You don't even follow detox drinks, jeans etc Instagram and suddenly it flooded your screen. In just a split second, I do not hesitate to click UNFOLLOW or even BLOCK the account.

I feel that it is unfair to the ones who pay you to promote their products/accounts because the followers have higher chance to overlook the reviews. Just imagine, 10 post reviews in 2 minutes. I will most probably skipped the post and scrolled down to search the posts that are relevant to me. It's just ME. My pet peeve.

My suggestion to the sellers who are getting PAID for reviewing people's product/account, probably you can have like 3 paid reviews per hour. Have an interval 7-10 minutes per post. Use hashtags.

This is only my honest opinion. Again, probably only me who cannot tolerate that. ME only.
