I dunno. I’ve noticed my feed now contains more and more ads.
And posts out of order. And posts on repeat.
It’s clearly no longer the simple service which simply shows me the latest images posted by those I follow.
It’s now a site I can tell is trying to game me, and that’s such a turn off.
Facebook had that moment where they crossed a line and that was when I stopped posting. Instagram too is getting close.
They shouldn’t push their luck.
- astura 8y agoFunny thing is a lot of those ads aren't even paid for, wannabe influencers post ads now to make themselves look like they are being paid to post ads, to eventually get paid to post ads. https://www.theatlantic.com/technology/archive/2018/12/influencers-are-faking-brand-deals/578401/ https://www.theatlantic.com/technology/archive/2018/12/influ...
- james_s_tayler 8y agololll I never thought about that but damn. Yeah, makes sense. Life is almost comical.
- msaharia 8y agoWow. This is madness on a whole different level. I hadn't thought of this angle.
