They don't. They are addicted to it. Imagine a world where you scroll in Instagram and you reach the end. What are you going to do?
- insane_dreamer 2y agoNot too long ago IG removed the notice that would appear that "you're all caught up" when you had scrolled down to the end of the posts of those you follow; now it just continues to show you "algorithmically suggested posts" so you can't even tell
- HanayamaTriplet 2y agoHow long ago do you mean? I tested right now and still got the "You're all caught up, the rest of the posts you see will be suggested" notice. Could it be in A/B testing...?
- insane_dreamer 2y agoI noticed it about 3 months ago. I never see it anymore. But yeah could be testing with a subset of users.
