Too Long; Didn't Read

Instagram has changed its algorithm to show you high-engagement posts first. The more time you spend on Instagram, the more money Instagram makes from advertising. The algorithm was built in to show the most highly-engaged posts first. The posts that keep us on the app for longer are posts with high engagement. The ones that don’t, we just ignore, we like, comment, share, save and spend time seeing posts that capture our attention. The algorithm shows a new set of posts that will show a new post and set it out of chronological order since the last logged in and saw the posts.
