Instagram’s explore tab has learned that I like pictures of English gardens. It works amazingly well. But if I refresh too often, it seems to run out of new garden photos and just shows hot young women and luxury cars instead (I’m not interested in either). I don’t know if it’s the algorithm or a deliberate choice but it’s gross either way.

It's the same with Pinterest for me by the way.

It shows the pictures I'm interested in and when it runs out of them it starts showing bikini models and cars.

To be fair, that's probably the two largest centroids of any reduced dimension space they've estimated to rank photos.
