People have fallen in love with posting about their lives through photos on social media. Parents are constantly posting about their child’s latest achievement and teens are posting endless amounts of selfies, whether it’s on Facebook on Instagram, the idea of posting has become a major part of people’s lives. And just when people thought they had every version of social media availible that enables you to post photos, there came VSCO.

This year, VSCO has become the newest way for people to post their “artsy” pictures without the stress that is comes with posting on Instagram. Over the years, Instagram has steered away from an enjoyable blog and has become an obsessive feed over “likes” and “creative captions.” People have begun to feel that if they do not achieve a certain standard of likes, their picture was bad. The fact that there is no liking on VSCO makes teens feel less stress over posting a picture. There is no fear of being judged when putting up pictures.

“I love VSCO because I can post as many photos as I want without being criticized because it is more private,” said junior Jenna Kenny.

This is a common theme seen through VSCO lovers. VSCO doesn’t have the “liking” options on photos which releases a stress factor.  This factor has attracted many people the past year. People want to post as many photos as they want without having any worries. VSCO has a high potential for its future in social media.
