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.
It’s trash. I maintain one to keep up the normie facade but I only check it on my laptop. I had to delete the app because it just sucks you in. I waste enough time on screens and it was only making it worse. I can’t stand the reels format either.
My new rule for myself is to stop scrolling on any social media when I see something incredibly stupid or cringe. On facebook sometimes it’s the first post I see.
It really does, I have my phone set to redirect me to a web homepage of my own making if I open the Instagram app during hours I should be productive. My whole phone is a landmine of stuff I have to do that for tbh.
