The social network of my dreams would be something without likes, comments, and views.

It would be a place where you post for the sake of posting, where you share for the sake of sharing, with nothing in return.

A place where you don't need external feedback 'cause you are not selling yourself. You are expressing yourself.

Either one of the two: validation or marketing.

Some people actually make money on Instagram so its not always just about getting approval from others.
