It still uses most of the IG algorithm, AFAIK, and it feels like that influencer angle drowns out everything else. The reach can go so far beyond your own circle of friends that it's meaningless, IMO.

Yes, exactly. It’s hyper amplifying, but it’s missing the mark on who the content is for. Its like a false positive. It’s leveraging the words/images that are trending to go viral for the sake of it. Instead of putting the content in front of the people who could get value. It’s a waste of time IMO.
Most of what I used to get in "for you", was main-stream consumer noise like from a bad reality show. I clicked "not interested" on 90% of it every time I tried to discover new people and topics to follow.
Agreed. I'm also noticing a lot of engagement bait or half finished posts on there that the algorithm seems to like. I've spent far too long than I care to admit attempting to curate the feed there with little reward.
I do think hashtags work better over there than here though, so far..

I'm like no. That's stupid. I already have a following feed. One they keep making me click extra to get to.
"For you" should be new people, with like-minded interests.
