As a Millennial, one thing I will admit is that Zoomers have better taste than Millennials with social media.
I've used TikTok, and when I did, I would get maybe one advert per hour. Sometimes none at all. The adverts are generally for the same shit you'd get in TV. Not only that, but within minutes the algorithm understood what I did and didn't want to see.
Unfortunately all my friends use Insta and demanded I get it so they can send me shit.
Instagram is fucking trash. I'm getting adverts once every two posts I look at so like once every 30 seconds. That's insane. Not only that, but the quality of these ads is terrible, a lot of it is selling shirts with AI generated art printed on them. Even if they do show me a shop I like, if I look at reviews before buying 100% of the time the reviews are complaining that what they got sent looks nothing like the advert. The algorithm sucks too. It keeps showing me things in languages I don't speak. For some reason it thinks I'm Ukrainian. I've been using this for a month now, why has it not caught on yet?
Why would anyone use this over TikTok? It is literally just advertising with a good video sprinkled in every now and again if you're lucky. I mean, TikTok isn't perfect by any means but at least it isn't that bad.
My experience of insta was having reel after reel of weird ragebait headline shit and the most depraved comments when all i wanted to do was follow a few trans creators... Promptly deleted it afterwards
Insta trans stuff is impossibly bad. I literally can't engage with trans content creators because the comments are vile.
Yep the comments on all of the posts are horrific and really upsetting the people on instagram are some of the most hateful and miserable people on the internet
