Friends have been bugging me to get Insta and I finally caved.
Damn dawg you live like this?
TikTok is bad enough but Insta is soooo much more shitty advertising, grifters and AI generated BS on Instagram. Maybe it’s the algorithm that’s worse? I’ve had insta for a month now and it’s still feeding me the worst shit.
Let’s just say I was never given manosphere videos on TikTok. Instagram seems to be sending them to me by the boatload. Tons of videos “sponsored” places called “Mandvise” or some shit featuring a grizzled old white dude saying shit like “When a woman says she just wants to be friends what she really means is…” And “Women be acting on fickle emotional whims.”
Like dude how many of these videos do I have to report before the algorithm gets the message!?
And don’t get me started on people who sell shit on Instagram. What a shitty way to run a business, just sell your shit on an actual website FFS.
Usually I have to start from a reel that a friend sent me, which I would want to see more of, to get good algo picks.
I like the dumb algo. Same with youtube shorts. Makes it somewhat easier to stop scrolling at some point and do something more productive with my time. I also get my short form content fix without getting sucked into the ecosystem/community/mentality of tiktok.
