Tbh I think Instagram makes people more active and healthier.

I'm pretty sure half my friends wouldn't do the things they do if they couldn't instagram it afterwards. Like going for a hike just to have your instagram content for the day.

Hey whatever works. Pokemon go was great for that as well.

I wish Pokemon Go had been the game we've all actually been waiting on. With familiar Pokemon PVP and real-world Pokemon scavenging. The gym concept they have is just not that much fun. But I guess the advantage to Pokemon go is being accessible to younger audiences who weren't alive when red and blue came out (I think I was nearly 30 then!) and also that the lack of more concrete game mechanics lends the game a more expressive nature. I've seen people that just play to collect their favorite one, and that's kind of magical to me.
