I start to write a reply but then I delete it.

Funnily I've been consciously doing this relatively recently too, over the last year or so, though, I've never used twitter/X or whatever, I find I do it on Instagram.

Part of it I suppose really is just age, but also I keep reminding myself why I'm using instagram - not for news or drama or politics. I just want a platform to see cool things, cool guitarists, great landscapes, funny cats. The great escape app, for me.

Any comment feeds a thirsty algorithm. I keep seeing the occasional only fans looking girl infect my feed here and there and I just have to skip asap because 2-3 seconds eye contact will confirm to the algorithm to gimme more!!.

Hate that. So yeah, a COMMENT would fully cement a destruction of my pristine feed XD Best to delete
