> The explore page has become a mass of memes, "viral" videos, half naked women, spam, reposts from reddit, reposts of other reposts, and so on. You can heavily influence what you see in the discover view, and I do so regularly to get more photography related content. View the content that annoys you, click on the three dots in the upper right and then tap ~"view less of this" (only loosely translated, don't know what it says exactly). Do this for 15 posts that you don't want to see, view and like the few photography related posts that you wanna see more of and this will completely change what kind of content you will get! Takes about maybe 3 sessions of doing this for seeing greatly improved results. The algorithm learns to give you posts which you give attention to, so try to avoid looking at memes etc; I have the same problem and with some time and me giving some attention to memes again brings more of them back - so rinse and repeat. You can actually use this to influence quite specifically what you want to see - from time to time I pick a specific theme of photography I want to discover (i.e. black and white photography with lots of elevated blacks), only like those kind of pictures in the discover view and definitely start getting way more of these kinds as a result. You can absolutely create your own bubble, you just have to tell Instagram what you wanna see.
