Great Zine, thanks !

I just want to discuss a little bit about “[an instagram post] costs nothing to make or distribute.”

Instagram is owned by facebook. Facebook is one of the most powerful companies in the world, basically because when you use a product like instagram you “pay” by watching ads or giving information about your likes and habits.

I’m totally in favor of using digital tools (like instagram) for resistance/activism but I can’t consider tools like instagram to be free.

yes very true! 

Whilst using platforms like insta/FB definitely are great free tools for activists, they are definitely not free from capitalist systems for sure. Someone can and will profit from them.

Living in a capitalist society is definitely hard to navigate because most things inevitably come down to money and profit, even amongst good causes. Currently, we can only do our best to choose the least environmentally or socially devastating lifestyle I think
