This is what 8 million Instagram followers does to your smartphone notifications

I’ve always wondered what it’d be like to have hundreds of thousands of millions of followers on Instagram, and how it would feel to receive notifications from all of them. Researchers say we’re addicted to those love pings because they basically give us a straight shot of dopamine. But what if you had, literally, thousands of notifications rolling in after every post? Would you OD?
Demy de Zeeuw, who runs soccer-focused Instagram account @433, answered that exact question with a Facebook video posted a couple days ago. Go ahead, live the nightmare.
Miraculously, his phone didn’t explode or even lock up. Now, just imagine Kim Kardashian’s notifications. She has 57.5 million followers.

Why wouldn't you turn the notifications off in that situation?

Or, you know, just turn notifications off.

That's exactly why I chose not to have millions of Instagram followers.

I don't mean this to sound funny or anything, but what is the point of Instagram? Is it like a mix of facebook and twitter?

share pictures and short videos with your friends without all the drama of Facebook

That's fricking rich.
ETA: I agree that was the original premise but that isn't the case anymore and they're owned by Facebook.

Some a-hole on my flight last week turned his phone on when we landed and had notification rings for 2 mins straight. He never once silenced his phone. People like that piss me off just as much as the "I'm an important businessman so I'm going to talk super loud on my phone in the terminal so everyone can hear my important business plans" guy.

This thread is full of the "I'm too cool for social media" crowd.
