Not exactly sure how to articulate this.

My instagram shorts feed feels completely Sci-Fi level manipulative and conditioning.

And I realize that in some ways, I have programmed it.

So it makes me wonder how others are programming and getting programmed by these super manipulative video feeds.

Short of walking up to strangers and asking, “hey, can I compare your feed to mine?” What can someone do to get a more Birds Eye view of what this cancerous infection instagram is doing to society?

    You can create your own alternative accounts…

      So… wouldn’t I have to have an extra phone or device?

      I’m pretty certain that even if I were to delete insta on my phone and reinstall it, there’s going to be traces of my previous use? My identity?
