More people in Germany use Instagram than Twitter and the job platform Xing so it is more feasible to advertise on Instagram than elsewhere if one's target audience is one of the main demographics on Instagram. Companies give out surveys to their employees to find out about their values and preferences and then design their INstagram storytelling according to it.

Young people who spend more than two hours a day on social media platforms such as Twitter, Facebook or Instagram are more likely to suffer from mental health problems, especially anxiety and depression. One of the respondents said that Instagram easily makes girls and women feel as though their bodies are not good enough, so they add filters and edit their images to look perfect.
