Including Reza Rahadian, This Lineup of Artists Chooses Not to Have Instagram for Various Reasons

Kapanlagi.com - In this digital era, Instagram seems to be a must-have platform for many people, including artists. However, did you know that there are some artists who do not have Instagram? They have their own reasons for choosing to be absent from this popular social media. One of them is the famous actor Reza Rahadian.

Instagram indeed offers many benefits, from a means of self-promotion, interacting with fans, to a field for endorsements. But, the popularity and exposure also have their downsides. Some artists feel more comfortable without the spotlight of social media.

The decision of these artists not to have Instagram certainly draws attention. What are the reasons that make them prefer to 'disappear' from the online world?

1. Privacy Becomes the Main Reason Artists Don't Have Instagram

For some artists, privacy is very important. They feel uncomfortable if their personal lives are constantly consumed by the public. Rani Mukerji, a famous Bollywood actress, is one such example. She prefers to keep her distance from social media to protect her privacy. According to KapanLagi's research, there is only a fan account of Rani Mukerji that is not affiliated with the artist.

2. Focusing on Creating Without Social Media Distractions

Not everyone can withstand the pressure present on social media. Negative comments, body shaming, and cyberbullying can trigger anxiety and stress. Scarlett Johansson, a top Hollywood actress, admitted that the anxiety caused by social media is her reason for not using those platforms.

5. Managers Manage Official Accounts on Behalf of Artists

Even if an artist does not have a personal Instagram account, it does not mean they are completely absent from the platform. Their management team or manager may manage an official account on behalf of the artist. The goal is to maintain presence and promote the artist's works.

6. Positive and Negative Impacts of Social Media

Social media like Instagram has two sides to it. On one hand, it can be a powerful tool for promotion, building personal branding, and interacting with fans. On the other hand, it can lead to anxiety, pressure, and privacy invasion. The choice to have or not have an Instagram account is entirely up to each individual.
