It's a window to the world of people you know/admire/like.

Facebook, for me, became this staid place where people complained or posted mundane stuff.

I open Instagram and I see:

- one of my favorite music artists posted a pic from the highest railway in Japan

- a gaggle of models I follow are looking fine

- some street art from Berlin

- motivational story from Gary Vaynerchuck

- the hashtag of my favorite city surfaces snaps that give me wunderlist to return

There's nothing there to make me rage - no politics, no lame memes, no arguments. Just a steady stream of aesthetically-pleasing photos to make my mind wander for 30 seconds or so.
