social

new instagram features that make me think wtf:

1. on reels, you can see who of your friends already liked the reel

2. on posts, you can now see # of shares like how many times it was sent to someone else

3. on profiles, switched from a square to a rectangular grid (rip all the photos purposefully square cropped)

#1 is WILD. it’s like bringing back the early days when you could publicly see what posts your friends have liked

im finding out a LOT about my friends’ algos based on that featured tho agfshsgsjsk 💀😭

lots of study material for people who like finding out more about human behavior

i wonder when #1 starts being more widely talked about and rolls out to all users, will people stop liking reels that easily and will it effect the metrics over a longer period of time. 

(i’m someone who rarely likes reels i see on the for you page)
