Instagram's algorithmic feed is hot garbage. I went through a two week period where it would ONLY show posts from three or four of the ~2,000 accounts I follow. Those accounts also happened to belong to big-ish companies, compared to most others I'm following, which are individuals or small organizations. It got so bad I had to unfollow them just to get any other content in my feed. And because I can't trust the feed, I keep a mental list of accounts (maybe 5-6) to "check on" manually for content, which is way more work than I should have to spend on a photo-sharing app.

If I could switch back to chronological feeds, in exchange for double the ads or something, I'd do it. It'd waste less of my time.

Also, Instagram banned me from following via the app for about five months with no communication or explanation. I think it thought I was a bot, but can't be sure. Not the customer but the product, indeed.
