But no matter how much work I put in to tailoring my feed, it just shows me half naked people that aren't my friends.
I don’t know what I’m doing right there other than heart-ing stuff I like and only following what interests me.
I’m sure Zuck will destroy it eventually but for now, Insta is the anti-Facebook for me and a source of much positivity.
Maybe do less tailoring? I hope it can be useful for you too.
I don't use FB much, and stuff like this makes me think I'm doing the right thing (OTOH, I just realized I forgot my good friend's bday yesterday, so I guess it's good for that one thing).
I'd say yes. I made a fake Facebook account so I could participate in my locale's groups without being doxxed, as I've witnessed a single mother get doxxed by the mayor for disagreeing with his policy. I get shown racy posts and friend suggestions based on the fake demographics I set on the account.
With nothing else to key off of, you're going to get the bottom of the barrel ads that they cant show to normal people (because there's always a more personalized ad to show them).
Search tab on the other hand shows you any accounts IG thinks are relevant to you.
This makes me question the veracity of your comment, unless you meant the Search tab (and even then it's based on your interaction in the app - if you don't click on half-naked people, the app won't show them to you).
