it wasn't. It was just a place where people shared pictures. The algorithm actually worked, recommended you accounts that you followed and liked and that was it.

Reels came out and that went sideways. The algorithm started pushing nothing but shitty meme accounts and the ads are nothing but 'coaches' talking about 'scaling' (yeah dude, some account with 30 followers totally convinces me that you can do that)
