Being victim of an algorithm is becoming “the new normal”. I had an opportunity to launch the topic without having specific information about this - scary - latest insight, when I was talking about the fact that brand now create content on the basis of what algorithm like and not what the branding principle may drive. I don’t believe Instagram decided spciefically to make any part of the algorithm to push such bad contents; it’more a consequence of the spasmodic search for most engaging opportunity for the user, and make the content with a wider target audience to get the best reach. So in other words what we observe here is a mere cross-section of the reality we live in. Where taste of Instagram users may reflect subtle affinities, while the algorithm just amplifies them without understanding the point. Who runs the machine has increasingly more power on our behaviour. We’re facing hard times concerning ethical issues, don’t you think so ? #algorithm #social #instagram #case #crisis #content #target #audience #ethical #responsibility

Good step, Instagram! ⬇️ They're working on "Peek," a feature that lets you share unedited, real-time snaps of your life.

It's time to peel back the curtain and expose the real world, helping the new generation see life as it truly is—unfiltered. This shift towards more genuine interactions and smooth, direct contact with our audience is much needed.
