New Algorithm makes IG feel like MySpace but worse
If you actually want to stay updated on your friends and the profiles you’re really interested in, get ready to do MORE work to see their posts. I used to be able to scroll through my feed and see posts in the order they were posted. It made sense. Then, I suppose because some people with lots of followers got upset they weren’t getting enough attention, IG changed their algorithm to allow more attention to go to only certain profiles.
Now, when I scroll through my feed, I have to see the same posts I have been seeing for DAYS. They’re not in chronological order. You didn’t see the millionth picture of someone’s dog from 3 days ago? Don’t worry, IG will make sure you see it before another post of more importance. You didn’t look at ALL 7 photos of someone’s single post? Don’t worry, you’ll see it for 3 more days at the top of your feed.
I stopped using FB/Twitter because I loved IG. Now I feel like it’s wasting my time. Two stars because I’m keeping my fingers crossed they’ll revert back to the true, chronological algorithm that MADE SENSE.
