Rec'd on 📱 do you like instagram reels?

i limit my insta usage cuz fuck meta but like i want to get fashion inspo. when it comes to reels, i realized very quickly how the algorithm will spew the worst stuff onto me, and even after i say i don’t want to see this stuff, it will do it again. it’s at this point that im just super mindful of what im absorbing on my feed.

i absolutely despise how meta KNOWS my political stance, because of what i like. Cause they know that if they show me a video relating to pro-MAGA, that its gonna make me upset, and want to engage with the content (i.e. sending it to friends to rant/commenting). Meta knows what they're doing and we cant let it keep happening to us

before yes, now no

i used to be chronically on reels but now i'm snapping myself out and not watching as much through setting a limit to my ig usage to 10 minutes a day only watch the reels my friends send me if they do

zero tolerance ad policy

i have a rule that as soon as i see an ad on socials that isn’t for something i’m following i get off. keeps me on the favorites/following tabs on insta which doesn't have constant new content so i’m inclined to check it less. also keeps me off story scrolling and reels because they automatically lace ads in there. all these ad-based platforms are now is algorithms designed to keep you on the platform as long as possible so you can see more ads so the site generates more revenue and shareholders get a bigger return. see right though this, get what you care about (updates from friends, bands, local spots, etc.) and dip. you won’t be missing much trust me.

NO‼️

the whole instagram formula is so terrible and evil and the only reels i get now are either people promoting their of accounts, weird ‘cringe posting’, or political stuff that makes me depressed. honestly i need to delete instagram, but it’s one of the only ways people communicate with me so i have to keep it solely for that. thank the lord that most of my chats have moved to whatsapp though because reels give me brain damage
