Home living sunderland... just dont bother!
December 3, 2020

https://home-living.co.uk/

So following on from the review a couple of days ago home trading out of sunderland have not responded as promised.

So on the 21september i paid in full as request for 2 pictures from this company. Ive phone many times, been fobbed off about delivery dates, ive sent messages and recently a cancellation to the order, the multple lies and calls are not worth the hasstle. Ive asked for a refund, they have accepted and Helloo as expected they promised they are dealing with it (see message from them below)

"Hi Michelle I will have to chase this in the morning with the accounts department but your details have been passed on, I have appoligised for the delay on your items when I last spoke to you on the phone and many times in messages previous. Every where in the world is having delays at the moment not just us, I will speak to accounts tomorrow and get back to you"

Using covid as an excuse to push a couple of buttons on a keyboard for a refund is shamefull. Do they think people are stupid!

If you think of spending before xmas dont risk it. I would just point you in the direction of trust pilot like my friend did unfortunately not in time for me to not spend with them. Quite a few dissapointed people and a theme running through, bad management of issues, poor quality and issues with orders, complaints and list goes on.

We are now in december and no refund

Im not going away until this is resolved SORT OUT THE REFUND!

Instagram Hinders Small Businesses
November 13, 2020

I am a small business and attempted to gain users at which I was initially doing at a pretty good rate on my own. All of a sudden I start receiving these messages that they want to limit how often I do certain things such as remove those I follow that aren't interested in following my business or gaining additional followers. They thought I gained too many too fast and accused me of using another service to gain those followers. This is totally WRONG. I do everything on my own and am just trying to get a good start. I went into the help page function and watched their video which promoted Instagram's ability to connect businesses. What a joke! They hinder businesses and prevent me from gaining followers for my business. I won't last much longer using this tool - it is truly annoying. Every day, they allow me approx 10 - 50 new followers and they constantly prevent me from deleting more than a few that choose not to follow my business. I have a small business where I create and sell art and in turn, take the proceeds to donate to animal rescues. My business is on etsy.

Annoying and wrong on so many levels
October 11, 2020

I created an Insta account when Fb blocked me during lockdown for unknown and unexplained reasons, I thought I need a social media account to keep in touch with people. First it turned out it's also own by Sugarmountain - whatever; second it turned out as well that most people I know has no Instagram account - okay. So, what to do, as an amateur photographer, after a while I started to upload my travel photos. Not the crappy mobile shots, but those that were taken by cameras, and only those that went trough careful Lightroom treatment (not the free mobile version, the PC version), just to be sure that I create original, quality content. I thought I will find similar travel photo lovers, or just similar people. I had to be disappointed. I encountered so few of them and also encountered tremendous amount of shallow human wastes that crawled out from the cesspit of the socmedia networks. Where to start?
The app. It is ridiculous that Instagram cannot be fully used - similar to many other socmedia apps - from PC. If I want to give the quality, every single time I have to bother with get the photos on my mobile. The app itself (for me on Android) seems to be pretty "buggy" - I'm not an IT expert. Very slow, most of the time, if I try to post it on other sites at the same time (like Fb, etc) it crashes instantly 10/10 times. So this function is virtually useless for me. If I want to modify something under a post it is 50-50% it will be a success or "Try it later". It happens very often - most of the time - that I get annoyed/frustrated and just leave it. Waste of time. In the 70% of the time I have to do the modifications "blinded", as the keypad fully covers what I type, the photo wouldn't "get up". Often it does not allow to post a gallery just 2nd or 3rd time. Come on! It's not rare that the app chop a little more off your carefully positioned photo. Wonderful! It happened a couple of times, that the app rewrote - as it seemed - all the tags into one (like 10x the same tag, nothing more). The app often make the wallpaper (or what do you call it) disappear from my phone.
For the phone. Since I installed the app I have to charge the phone more often, although I heard I'm not the only one. Before I open the app I used to pull back the display settings a bit, but it doesn't seem to be very effective.
As for the users community. That is a vast understatement that there are many-many shameless, shallow and blithering idiots. My favourite was the user who tried to contact me in a pm and it started with: "I can see you are following many dentists..." Well, no. Not a single one. One of the things that really annoys me in Instagram - I know I shouldn't bother with it - are the incredible amount of users with seemingly quality content - who follow me, so I would follow them back, than they unfollow me a day or couple of hours later. Well, so far I was unable to gain a lot of followers, so I exactly know how many are they. If I notice 1-2 missing just go, find them and unfollow them. I'm a person of principles, yet. If I see a very popular user follows me, that's 90% doesn't give a damn about my content and will leave in a heartbeat. Although there are very few exceptions (or they just forgot to unfollow me, whatever). What bugs me really is how on earth people, who - although I'm not a pro photographer, I'm not bad either - post definitely worst content than I do are able to gain hundreds of thousands of people. What are they? Blind zombies? Paid bots? I tried a lot of tips and tricks with the tags, the timing, promoting it on an other site, etc and none of them worked. I don't pay for it, that could be the problem. Then there are those, who spam-comment under my photos to follow them - of course they either wouldn't follow back or do the aforementioned "pull the d*** move". If I call them out, they disappear back into their caves, but that's just socmedia, nothing special that wouldn't happen anywhere else. A user started to follow me, and this particular user is selling their paper-writing services. I'm not sure whether it is legal or should I report them, but this is just disgusting. I worked my *** off for my diploma and these people encourage others to not to bother with it.
I accepted that only a very few people are interested (?) in my travel photos, okay (mostly cultural, not coctail-on-the-beach kind, there are a very few selfie amongst them). It must be like "uh, an other Unesco World Heritage site photo, meh". I don't think I can do more, than I already did. So this is why Instagram is a waste of time for amateurs like me, who are seeking feedback. I see it as gaining experience.

Don't use Instagram to find models to work with. The models are brainwashed. It is likely they are influenced by Mount San Antonio College.

Mostly enjoyable!
September 13, 2020

I enjoy posting my pics on Instagram and than from time to time going back and looking over them and enjoying the memories created. Instagram makes it very easy to look back at your pics and even see when the pic was posted.
One really bad thing about Instagram is the tons and tons of fake profiles (The catfish). Instagram needs to implement some way that people making profiles have to prove and verify that they are who they say that they are. Because it's a very serious, enormously large problem!
Otherwise a great place to share your pics with family and friends and also be able to see the pics of your family and friends that they post for you to enjoy.
If you like photography and pictures than having an Instagram is a definite must!

INSTAGRAM APP RACIST?
July 5, 2020

I find this a application packed with:
Pornography
Every second post is a nude person
Advertisements for credit cards, payday loans, high risk car loan lenders - EVERY SHARK KNOWN IN THAT MARKET
ALSO AND MOST DISGUSTING AND DISTURBING:

I reported 4 pictures:
1 Mexican nude: my report acknowledged, guy was disciplined for 30 days with limited access and photo deleted.
2 Black nude: my report acknowledged, guy was disciplined for 30 days with limited access and photo deleted.
3 Asian nude: my report acknowledged, guy was disciplined for 30 days with limited access and photo deleted.
4 White nude: my report IGNORED and guy just posted a new batch of nude.
Bias app packed with racist moderators and hypocritical fine print on values and decency.

A total useless web site
June 30, 2020

Instagram maybe one of the so-called most popular social media platforms in the world, but it is not what it cracked up to be. If you are an upcoming talented person who wants to showcase your work, Instagram would disappoint you with its Facebook algorithm system. Like Facebook, Instagram would censor true independent voices as well. Like Facebook, Youtube, and Twitter, Instagram is also very toxic. Just like its predecessors, everything on Instagram is all about winning the popularity contest to see who get the most likes and followers. It is so childish. I can go and on. Social media platforms, like Instagram, can also lead some people into depression.
