Kruder and Dorfmeister changed the way I understood and appreciated music. K&D Sessions is masterful. 25 years later they played it live...

So where did the actual social network go? It’s buried.
I didn't see a natural "cluster" of friends (back-to-back posts) until I had scrolled past 70 items.
The app withholds the content I actually subscribed to until I've paid an "attention tax" of 70+ algorithmic posts. No wonder I stopped scrolling. 4/4
It’s not random; it’s a rhythm. The feed settled into a recurring 4-step loop that happened 5 separate times:
1. Friend 👤
2. Suggested 🤷
3. Suggested 🤷♂️
4. Sponsored 💸
It is perfectly engineered pacing to extract max attention (2 strangers + 1 ad) for the "price" of showing me 1 friend. 3/4
For the first 75% of my scroll session, the algorithm never showed me two friend posts in a row.
Not once.
Every single time I saw a friend, the very next post was guaranteed to be a Stranger or an Ad. Friends are strictly used as pacing mechanisms to pull you deeper into the feed. 2/4
I don't scroll Instagram much anymore. The signal-to-noise ratio is just too low.
To prove it, I audited my last 96 posts:
👤 Friends: 35%
🤷💸 Strangers/Ads: 65%
But the worst part wasn't the percentages, it was the specific "rules" the algorithm uses to hide my friends. 1/4

Strava suing Garmin is really hard to understand.
Strava has the most to lose here.
I'll drop Strava in a heartbeat, it's a totally optional service with a "neato" factor. I don't NEED it.
Effortless and well beyond uncanny valley.. Made this in seconds..

Well.. If you couldn't believe anything on the internet with social media, I think Sora2 locks in the vibes of, "don't believe anything ever" anymore.
This is one of the weirdest feeling products I've ever used ever. By a long shot.
