Comment on TikTok Is Destroying Itself From the Inside Out
loobkoob@kbin.social 11 months agoWhat's changed about Instagram? I'm not familiar enough to know, but I don't feel like I've heard anything all that controversial about it outside of Meta's general "pay to remove ads" thing. I certainly haven't heard anything about systemic enshittification like I have with Twitter, Reddit and TikTok; have I missed anything?

It used to be you saw what you subscribed to. Now every third posted is suggested. Many of them have paid to be suggested, not even talking about the ads which seem like every other post. It used to be about pictures, now it’s all reels, loud and obnoxious.

Ahh, that's the same path Facebook went down a decade ago then. Yay, capitalism...

I know it doesn’t fix the fact the ruined main feed, but if you click on “Instagram” on the top left then select “Following” from the drop-down that appears, you will get a chronological feed of only the people you follow—no ads no suggested posts. Only reels if they were posted by someone you follow.

They make it basically impossible to know about unless you are told. 😩
