Friends have been bugging me to get Insta and I finally caved.

Damn dawg you live like this?

TikTok is bad enough but Insta is soooo much more shitty advertising, grifters and AI generated BS on Instagram. Maybe it’s the algorithm that’s worse? I’ve had insta for a month now and it’s still feeding me the worst shit.

Let’s just say I was never given manosphere videos on TikTok. Instagram seems to be sending them to me by the boatload. Tons of videos “sponsored” places called “Mandvise” or some shit featuring a grizzled old white dude saying shit like “When a woman says she just wants to be friends what she really means is…” And “Women be acting on fickle emotional whims.”

Like dude how many of these videos do I have to report before the algorithm gets the message!?

And don’t get me started on people who sell shit on Instagram. What a shitty way to run a business, just sell your shit on an actual website FFS.

    Maybe its because I’ve been on Insta for a while, but I don’t get much AI slop. Advertisements, though? Yes, way too much. I grifters/manosphere stuff once in a while, but its actually not too bad. It still suffers greatly from the same thing that Facebook does, which is that its become less and less about staying in touch with people you actually know and instead shoving ads and content down your throat.
