My Instagram has turned into a National Geographic browser.

Mine has turned into hot girls and yoga.

You click on 1 too many photos of a girls chest popping out of her shirt and you lose control of your IG.

The real question here is whether the algorithm is correctly reflecting your interests or not. Are we our ego or our id?

Suppose my ranked preferences (by assertion, watch time, and also ad interaction, and) of context mix may be 30% yoga, then 15% yoga, then 100% yoga.

Suppose IG only offers 100% yoga or 10%, based on my click activity.

Ego and id may be fully compatible but it IG is still failing for my use case.

I used to like following National Geographic, but they post so much it takes over my feed. Ended up unfollowing solely for that reason.

I've started following specific National Geographic photographers that I really like instead.
