Instagram is a walk through a shopping mall where one is constantly trained to feel good or bad about certain actions and decisions. They have behavioral psychology and marketing specialists working and designing features against the user.
- dntrkv 6y agoYou can make the same argument about HN. Also, in the past couple years, IG has rolled out functionality that does the opposite of what you suggest. e.g. They no longer prompt you with your "likes" notifications. I know they are AB testing removing "likes" from view, though not sure if that will get normalized. Other than the likes, what exactly are they doing that is designed against the user?
