Back in the day, I posted on Instagram to share things with my friends and scrolled to see their updates. The chronological feed with no suggested posts was the only way it worked, and now that's impossible. There are no "people" on Instagram anymore.
What happened to Facebook is happening to Instagram. What used to be just a feed of my friends is now a bunch of suggested posts from accounts I don't follow. It gives me a feeling of having my own friends used as bait for them to churn more content, souring the whole experience.
Just another way for zuck to push his incel fascist agenda
Makes sense. It's the same company now, and they're going to "reuse" patterns and stuff that they feel worked for Facebook and bring it over to instagram.
You can still get chronological posts on there if you tape the “Instagram” button at the top and tap followers instead of recommended. Not well labeled but still possible
