Instagram delete reason

Today is one of those days where I phone in my unhinged idea. Part of this is because I’m on vacation, but it also stems from the fact that the VRBO I was at was in a hurricane zone where they declared a state of emergency. Suffice it to say, relocating took a higher priority than making an unhinged concept.

That being said, it is still important to me that a new idea is made daily regardless of the weather. So here we are. What if there was a required step where you had to specify the reason for deleting an Instagram post?

This gets interesting when you have an AI layer inferring basic data points about the photo. This could turn boilerplate answers into more opinionated and contextually informed responses. Not only would this be creepy, it could also feel weirdly personal given it likely doesn’t have the context to infer much about your relationships… yet.

I doubt Instagram will have an exit survey for deleting photos anytime soon, but if they did it might look something like this.
