Tis a strange and silly place. It certainly has some interesting features, and I "generally" like the UI design, but it has a lot of weird oddities and quirks too.

As for how people seem to use it, I get what you're referring to. On first glance a lot of it looks rather showy and pretentious, and in many cases that's almost all it is for the individual using it.

On the other hand, I think some are using it that way to both present for themselves, and to others, that they're out enjoying a life filled with adventures. Which to some might seem a bit shallow and artificial, but very well might be at least a little meaningful, in the right context. And as with all things, some sorts of people just have to take it an inch further.

Slightly off-topic though, but am I the only one that finds it disjointing with how modern social media and messaging platforms show that messages have been read by the recipient? It's not something I've been used to with almost any form of online communication before.

It certainly has some legitimately interesting features, and I "generally" like the UI design, but it has a lot of weird design quirks too.

Speaking of, I really find it remarkably disjointing how modern social media and messaging platforms will confirm to the other user if you've read their message (and visa versa). It's not something I've been used to with almost any form of online communication before.
