Instagram Accounts to Learn Chinese ❥
All suggested feeds include original content. While reposts and shares have their place, and I appreciate them, accounts that only repost the content of others hurt us all in the end. We should instead give our support to actual creators. When a creator’s follow count goes up, it encourages them to keep on creating and we all benefit.
