I went on Instagram for the first time in a few years yesterday. None of my friends post anymore and it’s all ads or sponcon.

Group chats have been slowly growing for the last decade, and now have become completely dominant. I wonder how much of it is fear of cancellation leading to defaulting to private communication.

I had my account banned this year after logging in for a long while and told I looked too much like a bot. The only way to try to get access again was to upload a 'video selfie' at multiple angles, but no way would I want to help that facial algorithm any more than necessary. Good riddance.
