Unfortunately we won't get a 'Following' feed option on IG
About 50% of the content that Instagram shows on the newsfeed is AI-based recommendation. And that's what Instagram's gonna be about for the foreseeable future.
Instagram chief Adam Mosseri has this to say:
"Of course we've thought about it, and we've tested it and tried it a number of times. Every time we have, there's a sub-group of people who are happy, there's a bunch of people who forget that they're in it, and then overall, everybody who's in it uses Instagram less and less over time, and when we ask them questions like "how satisfied are you with Instagram?", they actually report being less happy with Instagram more and more over time, on average. And then there's these second order effects where their friends start using Instagram less [and] because they use it less, they send less likes and comments, messages, and then there's all of this other stuff, and it just gets worse and worse, and quickly." |
Chime in.
