My wife and I got talking recently about Instagram algorithms lately. We live in the same house, but I rarely see her posts unless she tags me on them. She shared this post, "How to best the 2022 Instagram Alogrithm" with me, which enhanced our conversation and inspired this post.

Before now, I had this weird feeling about the competitive nature of specific social media platforms, especially Instagram, as they are pushing multiple functions, expectations and behaviours for both creators and consumers. 

Instagram used to be the lounge of social media where the Big Boys/Girls chilled until they started opening shops there, and it has become a marketplace. (not bad for real)
