There is plenty of vanity and marketing on instagram though.

I personally have a preference of opinions over pure vanity.

Two points:

- Vain opinions and opinions based on good marketing that appear on Facebook are still vanity and marketing.

- Curating your feed on any service is paramount, and maybe my anecdotal experience is based on having curated Instagram well, whereas Facebook was a sprawl of vain or disingenuous political theater.

I think the big distinction is in feed curation, and to that end, I believe that Instagram promotes direct follow of highly popular accounts that can reinforce negative self-perception. I just don't really follow any big accounts, just friends whose hijinks I appreciate.

Curation does seem to be the key.
