  • Honestly, just ditch Instagram already. And convince your friends and family to do the same. It’s better for your time, your privacy and mental health. The demise of these platforms starts with people like you and me never visiting these places all together.

      You’ve got to know what you want with Instagram and don’t fall for the algorithm.

      I use a throwaway account and only follow stand-up comedians so I can scroll through and watch some comedy.

      As soon as a video pops up in the feed that isn’t stand up I shut it down.

      • I, too, follow a lot of comedians on IG, but I’m noticing a problem lately: there are soooooo many recommendations that I hardly see the ones I follow intentionally. Like I get that the business model is addiction+distraction, but it seems like it’s undercutting its own business.
