If scrolling feels more exhausting than entertaining, you're not alone. I feel the same way, and a recent study backs up the sentiment: Social media is losing its fun factor.
What happened to Facebook is happening to Instagram. What used to be just a feed of my friends is now a bunch of suggested posts from accounts I don’t follow. It gives me a feeling of having my own friends used as bait for them to churn more content, souring the whole experience.
Makes sense. It’s the same company now, and they’re going to “reuse” patterns and stuff that they feel worked for Facebook and bring it over to instagram.
