Instagram is slowly changing from a social media platform to an online flea market.

It’s a space crafted for for content creators & entrepreneurs, but not casual users.

You can follow your friends all you want, but you will not see posts from their home life. But you will see that influencer’s 5th sponsored post for a clothing line that you can’t wear.

But does this shock me? No, Instagram is trying to make their money and that’s all they’re focused on lol

From the few DMs I’ve gotten: flea market in the sense of “there’s 1K diff vendors in front of you by default and only about 5 that you have interest in but you’ve got to walk through majority to get to those.” I don’t have anything against flea markets and love local goods
