    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.
