Instagram will feed you more of whatever you are following or tapping.

I have noticed that if I don't use Instagram for a few days I end up with generic, lowest-common-denominator videos. Scantily clad females, bar fights, car accidents, etc.

But if I start seeking out and watching the stuff I actually like, the feed updates itself within a day or two and I get content that I actually want to watch.

I just can't be bothered seeking out "stuff I like" on Instagram anymore, mostly I've seen it before etc, just feeling like I have better things to do lately.

If I actually want to "watch" something, I open Youtube, seems to me like the content on there is 10x better.

Each to their own.

I feel exactly the same. Maybe it's just a stage in one's life?

I think I’m just bored with the platform, same format, crappy engagement from other uses etc.

It was fun for a while but yeah, not really sure it’s worth my time, or that it ever really was.
