Instagram accounts dedicated to good news, such as @TanksGoodNews and @GoodNews_Movement, have seen follower counts skyrocket in recent weeks. Branden Harvey, the founder of Good Good Good, said that in seeking out these stories, readers aren’t necessarily looking for an escape from the news. The team behind the World Record Egg recently introduced a good-news Instagram account called @Sunny_Side_News. Instead I used ‘lives lost.’” But good-news publishers said that news that’s framed too positively can also end up alienating readers. “Our advertisers are pretty unsure of what’s going to happen in one month or two months, so they’re holding onto their money right now,” said Harvey of Good Good Good.
