Damn ig is so addictive.
Given I'm a male my search feed is literally 👁️🫦👁️.
My reel feed is full of dark pedophile seixst homophobic adult content. Someone please tell me it's normal. 😭
Although I've tried to change my feed algorithm by engaging with random anime, cat, and other pet posts/reels, I still come across at least 1 or 2 posts where shawties dancing provocatively by shaking their t•tties/cakes when I scroll down.
I even came across a username brokencondomsurvivor wtf 🤣
Just curious if that's the case with others too!
My fingers muscle memory got so used to that reel scrolling, i literally unlock my phone and open some random apps for no reason. It literally took me weeks to control my finger movements over my phone.
( •_•) Since I'm on mission ive ( ง )ง uninstalled ig months ago. /︶\ Using gv for insights btw.
Few of my friends are doomed because of social media honestly they are jobless rn, their academics & soft skills are literally worst, tried to help them in preparing for interviews and technical stuff but not working out. The process even dragged me down at some point. So i decided to help them financially and these aimless idiots were wasting my money on girls, restaurants and cafes just for status and stories on social media. Got angry several times but dost h na jhel rha hun in a hope of thik h kabhi na kabhi toh sudhar jayenge(being too optimistic? 🙃)
I'm a bit worried about them as it might arise some conflicts in social respect and status.
My parents scolded & grounded me for 1000 times becoz of them. Honestly i think no parent wants their kids to be around an inept and no good person.
In my childhood i hated it but as I grew older I understood why.
The very thought of my friends being rendered useless in their life is daunting me.
I really do want my friends to succeed more than me but as days pass by i feel like there's no scope for that.
I know it's a lengthy post but what should i do?
Why do i feel like people didn't read the second part bro I'm smh rn 🤡
Lmfao I guess for the second part, people really don't have advices. Like sometimes you need to get f*cked over to understand that it was wrong
It's okay I already called the FBI.
A mid-way solution is to use instagram on desktop web only. That way you get to stay connected with friends via DMs and occasionally catchup on feed updates. Instagram on phone is a monster, there is no way to stop scrolling once you develop an instinct for it.
Did you read the second part of the post? 😶🌫️
It seemed like the post had more than 2 parts looking at the number of paragraphs. But anyway, caring deeply about their wellbeing is noble. Hope your friends realise it and make use of their time more wisely.
Hey, the algorithm is tricky. There are few tips I can give everyone and this will work 100%.
-
If you use Android, Use digital wellbeing app and set a time limit to Instagram, may be to 30min.
-
If you have saved any such inappropriate posts you've mentioned, unsave them. (you can save posts from topics you are interested in. This boosts that kind of posts)
-
Stop liking or interacting with those kind of posts.
-
Follow pages or hashtags of your interests. Interact(Like and send) posts from topics that you are interested in.
-
whenever you find an inappropriate post (that you think is inappropriate), you can mark it as "not interested". keep doing this till such posts reduce showing up
once you follow all these, in a week or two, your ig will be better..
