Don’t care until it’s not 98% ads and promoted content
Youtube has made similar changes a while back. YouTube recommendations feature small/tiny channels with few subscribers a lot more often.
It’s mixed results for viewers but it does help to good small channels to not be drowned out by the bigger players.
It’s a play to try to fix the algo. Large creators have gaming the system down to a science and it’s making the experience as bad as yaho… google search.
I was quite proud of my profile there. I had over 300 high quality photographs there taken by me and zero bullshit like pictures of meals etc. After using it for close to 10 years I had gained 32 subscribers and was getting around 10 likes on average. I just stopped posting and left. Why bother if no one is even seeing them. I’m not going to start spamming several posts a week just to please the algorithms, I post when I have something of value to show. This comes too late. I’m already gone.
Now it seems like posts don’t even work anymore. It’s all about stories and reels
🥱
Or maybe just let me focus on who I choose to follow? I’m not there for content discovery, though I know that’s why most people are.
