Instagram comes with the most annoying functionality ever!

Instagram also comes with the most annoying functionality ever. Why do we ask ourselves…

Instagram started out nice and simple as a platform where you could just post photos. Over time, new features were added and the platform was adapted. Sometimes it gets better, sometimes it doesn’t. The platform is now testing a feature that many people really don’t want.

Instagram with annoying functionality

Instagram has been bought by Facebook. That was a while ago and the platform is getting more and more features from the parent company. And is that positive? Opinions are divided on this. What is certain is that money comes in to the company if you scroll longer. To achieve this, Instagram is now testing a function, according to The Verge.

To make sure you stick around longer, Instagram will make suggestions in your feed. Now that’s already based on an algorithm, but it’s getting worse. Today’s algorithm ensures that, for example, the posts with the most likes are higher in your feed. Or if you look a lot at specific content, similar images or videos are more likely to be featured in your search function. That is still kind of acceptable, but now they come with another new functionality.

Suggested Posts

The platform is currently testing this, but there is a good chance that it will be introduced soon. It’s already there on Facebook. With this feature, you get posts from people you don’t follow at all. But the platform’s algorithm thinks you’re going to like this content. That’s why it’s placed between your feed. They do this based on your likes, interests and viewing behaviour.

So it pollutes your timeline enormously. The question is whether Instagram users are waiting for this Facebook-like feature. You do?
