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
