I get the people here saying “just don’t have any of them”. Recently I decided to wipe my IG account’s likes that I left on all posts. You know - so the algorithm knows less about me. Mind you, this was several thousand likes to remove.
There is no bulk unliking option, so I did this by hand. Select the same -teen photos, unlike, wait for the reload, repeat. The benefit is that you get a look atwhat you liked, since you’re combing through it by hand.
What struck me is 99% of those posts were from people I haven’t ever met. They were rando short creators. There is nothing “social” about this medium anymore. It’s a media medium.
