#2Not only that, it keeps showing me the same posts over and over. Just because I liked something months ago, doesn't mean I want to see it every week

#3I haven't really seen it, but I also don't scroll Instagram endlessly.
I've noticed I get a lot of "You might also like..." posts if I start scrolling past the point where Instagram has new content for me to see. That's usually my cue that I've gone too far and there's no more interesting content from the people I follow.

Sounds like they got their inspiration from the youtube recommendation engine.

#7At this point, Instagram decided it wants to be a TV and just show me what it wants me to see, not my carefully curated feed. I'm letting my account die.

Except at least in my case, I do rewatch YouTube videos a lot.

Exactly. I just use instagram to msg people who aren't on Telegram and other services as I don't have FB. I don't think I've ever used the feed before, simply because of seeing ads. I never watch stories either. It's a dumpster fire, and any algorithm to show me stuff is a mistake, full stop. I only want to see my friends stuff chronologically, nothing else on the app matters for me.
I genuinely don't understand why they do this. Sure, keep the ads, whatever, but make it chronological. Too many busy bodies I guess?

What is this about exactly? Do the majority of people want to see the same post over and over for days?
