No benefits that I can see. I don't do Instagram or Twitter and my life is just fine. You got friends here and we all actually like you.
I'm on instagram and I never post anything,I just follow pages that I like, and they contain subjects such as cooking ,decorating foods,fashion tips, news, health tips, exercising videos,book suggestions and etc..
So It's not really personal for me,but instead of net surfing or going on different websites to get what I need,I just check out instagram.
I am on it only to follow relatives and to see their pictures. I have only posted once and that is because I think people on Facebook might have been getting tired of pictures of my dogs. Lol
I was asked a couple of times to join that also but I never did as it looks like Twitter and such. Then I see people begging for followers and actually buying followers, which makes no sense to me. But if you have a good friend that wants you to join? That probably wouldn't be too bad. Like all of those type of sites, only give the minimal amount of info about yourself.
I used to use Instagram. Aside from posting Abyssrium pics, I didn't have much use for it. Then again, you might like it
But you get to post pictures of the food you're eating at a restaurant! Who doesn't want to do that?
In all seriousness, I have Instagram, but I almost never post anything; I mainly use it to view photos of friends.
