The sentiment on bookstagram seems to be changing. I spoke to a lot of people who feel frustrated with Instagram, its ever changing algorithms, and clear movements to monitize every last corner of the app (I'm talking about you, "Shopping" button...). The ominous changes to their data policy are also not helping the general discontentment with the 'gram.

A lot of us in the literary community feel that these changes make it harder and harder to do share our love for books and connect with others - which is why we set up our bookstagram accounts in the first place. I know more and more of us would be ready to leave the app, but don't want to lose sight of each other.
