I know. I tried that so many times. I think I must have marked 'not interested' on thousands of posts at this point.

For some reason, IG thinks I'm a track athlete (among many other things). Even for stuff I am legitimately into (like mountain biking), my IG explore page mostly serves me up these random accounts called things like 'MTBdaze' or 'bike247' that just seem to repost random pics/memes as a way to grow the follower count.

Oh I see, yeah that doesn't help sadly, for me though the stuff it shows me does not correlate with the people I follow at all. The algorithm must be weird I guess?
