Interesting to see IG running tests on seemingly counterintuitive features like that. The addiction and instant gratification is what generates their profits, after all. That's why I also believe the feature I envisioned wouldn't match their business interests - they basically want your friends' content to be mixed with all the other content, including paid posts.. But "ethical design" is becoming a big topic, so maybe we will see changes like this.
