I’m pretty active on Instagram and I don’t do any specific “tailoring” of my feed. I see about 80% fine art, 15% friends posting about their lives, and 5% semi-famous people I chose to follow.
I don’t know what I’m doing right there other than heart-ing stuff I like and only following what interests me.
I’m sure Zuck will destroy it eventually but for now, Insta is the anti-Facebook for me and a source of much positivity.
Maybe do less tailoring? I hope it can be useful for you too.
- ngngngng 6y agoMaybe I should start a new one and just follow a couple dozen people I like. I think a lot of the issue could be me following hashtags or topics or whatever instagram calls them. For example, if I follow backpacking, the first few posts will be relevant, then it will devolve into people abusing the hashtag system and me seeing content I'm not interested in.
- mgerullis 6y agoIf you follow the right accounts, it will actually turn into a nice experience. Personally I never followed many hashtags, instead I used to follow high quality photography accounts. I believe that a small percentage got sold at some point and turned into trash but the majority of my feed was quite tailored and nice.
- nnain 6y agoMay I point out that much of the 'positivity' on Instagram is pretty toxic too. There are people just showing the best parts of life and abusive people re-posting the kindest quotes. It all feels like smoke and mirrors to me.
