This used to be a "zing", but don't think it is anymore. Try to make a new profile somewhere and select a few topics of interest. You will get suggested the most engaging "relevant" content. For me, I made a cycling Instagram and my feed instantly got filled with girls showing of cleavage in lycra with cycling hashtags.

It was not meant as an attack on GP; it was meant as exactly this opportunity to question "the algorithm".

I swear to god Instagram is like the patriarchy speedrun.

If it finds out you're a woman, within mere minutes it's 100% "you're fat" "try this diet" "you've GOT to buy this viral dress on shein!!"

And if you're a man, it's boobs, ass, objectification, and products to make you feel more like a man.

The sheer velocity at which Instagram will shovel you into capitalist-patriachy++ is shocking.

...have you ever thought about the way you're using the app, then? Because I, personally, get nothing else other than dumb memes and posts from people I follow.

When I say this happens in mere minutes and to everyone I know, I mean it.

For the record, I don't use Instagram because it's basically always been toxic. It's one of the fastest ways to feel bad about your body and life.

No, stop with the stupid shaming. The point was that the algorithm pushes certain content on people, no matter what they actually want to see.

And I said that I do not have this issue and my current account is relatively fresh, having been made in May of this year.

I thought it was well known and generally accepted that the social medial companies push controversial click/rage bait to keep people “engaged”?

Look, I've gotten cartel beheadings and beatings on a YouTube search query for Jack Russell terriers.

Don't throw shade. If you haven't gotten "How the fuck did that get there?", consider yourself lucky I guess. Best I can figure, terriers have some unintentional shared vector space with much more unpleasant content.

terriers/terrorists

This is a good point. Instead of policing what trolls will use it for, the same AI should be able to detect racist content and prevent it from spreading
