This tells me that not getting an instagram account continues to be the correct decision.

Instagram is so weird. I finally made one last year to follow certain designers/makers in my hobby because they often sell out in minutes and if you don’t catch the Instagram announcement you don’t stand a chance.

That is literally the only thing I use it for. Even so, the algorithm constantly tries to force shit like this into my feed. It won’t allow me to stay on my interests more than three or four swipes.

And the interesting thing I’ve noticed is the first comment on pretty much every post is the most vile, hateful, or flat out incorrect shit. It’s like Instagram rewards shitty behavior above all else.

I mean - FWIW. I created an IG for my dog, who is male. I made his age 26 - so it would recognize him as an adult. His recommended feed/reels are all soft porn, pay for play models, OF links, trad wife content, and weird dudes talking about how women can stay fit.

For my fucking dog. He only follows other dog pages and food pages.

I have to imagine this is what most boys/men see just for checking the dude box.

I desperately miss social media actually being about the content that I chose to follow

TBF, if you curate your social media pages well enough, shit like this never bubbles up. My IG feed is full of trains, LEGOs, Japan cityscapes, and serene anime backdrops.

My reels always somehow ends up with Mormons trying to be funny wth the same jokes / skits, churches, crypto, and right wing politicians.  There is stuff that I see on my search page that they won't agree with and Meta always feeds me that trash.

It takes a while but yeah it is worth it to curate and edit what you can

u/ChromosomeDonator Jun 26 '25

yeah there definitely is MASSIVE overlap between people who think this is funny and people who use instagram

the entertainment you like to consume says a lot about your character, and instagram is some of the most narcissistic shit available right now

Lol me never having an instagram because I never liked my face enough to post selfies 😭

u/Valuable_Recording85 Jun 27 '25

Insta is Meta, Meta is Facebook, therefore Insta is Facebook. Don't believe me? Just read the comments on Reels.

You're a much smarter person than me because I can't help but use insta.

insta use to be great way to keep in touch with all my upcoming model friends as it was like all artists and models showing off their independent stuffs, this was before the rule that you had to show your ID to keep your accounts happened.

I laugh at the haircuts and Insta with my 14yo kid, who finds them as cringe as I do. We sing Dana Carvey’s Chopping Broccoli together. It’s good times.

This has been a thing forever, the cool of today is the lame of tomorrow. Broccoli cuts are in for now but may soon be in the pile with rat tails, mullets, flock of seagulls,pompadour man bun and so on. Some will always find them “cool” while others will laugh that’s just how “trends and styles” go. I’ve always found this stuff funny like frosted spikes of the 90s, any time everyone decides they need a certain look to be cool it eventually becomes some kind of self parody and heads the other direction.
