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.
