Iโm a 24M and recently instagram has just become extremely relatable. I guess they updated the algorithm or something? I always try to influence the algorithm with consciously liking/reporting specific content type. I avoid cringe influencers and like nature and outdoorsy content. Recently I went through a situationship and was a bit heartbroken. Even though I wasnโt depressed or it wasnโt a big deal, I can see ig showing soo much relatable content and influencing me more into thinking about that person / romanticising it. Up to the point where I could see myself relating to it, liking it and becoming more depressed because of it. I just disable my account! Major scary part is, itโll be very difficult to break out of this chain. Because weโre liking the content which is causing us harm. There needs to be some point of realisation. If we in tech struggle with this, idk how the outsiders and teenagers are coping up to this. Even though Meta has always been known for their sm AI and algorithm, recently it just reached new level.

They know more about you than yourself
I have never even opened Instagram account in my life. It's pure trash
Only funny cat videos here. get on my level
Meta thanks you for your contributions, both as a user and as a former employee. ๐ฎ
Yeah I use it more than tiktok these days
That's how the algorithms are made better, user feedback! If more people start deleting their accounts, algo might get tweaked to be less invasive and more generalized.
