Plus NSFW content is banned and moderation is much heavier handed than Twitter. This seems like a ploy to get people addicted to the algorithm but in 'Threads' fashion. Twitter may have an advantage if people perceive it to be a more 'realistic' portrayal.

A lot of people use instagram where NSFW content is banned. Most people wouldn’t post or look at NSFW content online if it was related back to their IRL selves. There’s certainly a big niche for a “more wholesome web”. While I think it’s goofy to expect the entire web to operate like this, I kind of like that I won’t be inundated with porn, videos of people getting killed/maimed, etc. when I’m scrolling on some social media apps.

I’m the complete opposite. Obviously no one enjoys spam, but I want real human content. YouTube comments are even more useless now as it’s all just happy happy joy joy from the algorithm.

I definitively get videos of people getting killed/maimed on my instagram feed despite using the "not interested" option every time they show me this stuff.
