This used to be a "zing", but don't think it is anymore. Try to make a new profile somewhere and select a few topics of interest. You will get suggested the most engaging "relevant" content. For me, I made a cycling Instagram and my feed instantly got filled with girls showing of cleavage in lycra with cycling hashtags.
- zahlman 10mo agoIt was not meant as an attack on GP; it was meant as exactly this opportunity to question "the algorithm".
- array_key_first 10mo agoI swear to god Instagram is like the patriarchy speedrun. If it finds out you're a woman, within mere minutes it's 100% "you're fat" "try this diet" "you've GOT to buy this viral dress on shein!!" And if you're a man, it's boobs, ass, objectification, and products to make you feel more like a man. The sheer velocity at which Instagram will shovel you into capitalist-patriachy++ is shocking.

- matsemann 10mo agoNo, stop with the stupid shaming. The point was that the algorithm pushes certain content on people, no matter what they actually want to see.

- array_key_first 10mo agoWhen I say this happens in mere minutes and to everyone I know, I mean it. For the record, I don't use Instagram because it's basically always been toxic. It's one of the fastest ways to feel bad about your body and life.
