yes! not enough people are saying this. not every one needs a 2nd IG for their photos or creative projects. i'm just as guilty but this quote really hit: "Our algorithms feed us endless images of people doing creative things, creating a hyperreal version of an ever-competitive creative landscape that we feel falsely close to (and thus comparable to). In an economy of relevance that leaves us fearing being left behind, we’re no longer able to engage in creative pursuits purely for pleasure. Instead, we must perform to earn and maintain our place in culture. "

Yes! Also see art and creativity which has the primary intention of creating this real life connection.
