Comment on Why Instagram failed to become TikTok

Comments

Honestly find that Instagram tries too hard to show me thirst traps - that I’m not interested in. It assumes that since I’m a male, I must automatically overwhelmingly like looking at attractive women.

Its too one dimensional.

If you want to have a nice experiment, create a new FB account and identify as a 30-40yo male.

Don't like any pages or anything, then check the suggestions: It's a 100% softcore porn for horny dudes.

I actually hardly ever see thirst trap posts, my feed is pretty much just an endless wall of memes.

Maybe it’s because I signed up with a burner phone number and I avoid (as much as I’m able) giving Meta any scrap of data to link to my IRL identity
