For being part of meta, Instagram is relatively good (Instagram let's you pause suggested post, can easily modify your algorithm by telling it what not to show or what to show, can skip ads, for now, and it's the best way to see good tik toks without going to that site), so it was just a matter of time it got enshitified

I wonder what they'll do with WhatsApp next

I use Instagram to post animal pictures. Any time I try to "browse" I see an ad every third post and give up.
