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.
