i don’t understand the ig algorithm at all.
sometimes i think i’ve cracked the code,
but then i’m thrown for a loop of confusion.
i don’t know if you’ve noticed…
…but some folks just don’t show up on your feed.
often times,
i feel like their stories never appear either.
at times,
they’ll get insulted because you don’t like or watch their shit.
“…You just ain’t in my algorithms!”
i mean,
it’s true.
personally,
i feel the algorithms go on a few aspects:
Who you interact with the most
Who interacts with you the most
that could also mean who lurks on your page and don’t tell you.
there are folks i don’t interact with at all,
but i watch (sometimes) their stories and like pics,
and they are high up on my algorithms.
they don’t interact with me as much,
but if they post something,
it’s the first thing i see when i sign on ig.
i see their names damn near on everyone else’s pictures too.
I had to ask myself if my phone sensing who I’m attracted to because…
i don’t think we will ever get a full answer on how the algorithms work.
i’d love to find out tho.
