      I used to read a bunch of webcomics. I had collected a bunch of RSS links to read every day. I joined Instagram a few years ago to see what was happening with my friends. Finding out that some creators are exclusive to that platform was really sad. Going from reading comics in chronological order with each new post following the last to reading in some order chosen by an engagement algorithm was horrible. I’ve since quit visiting Instagram. Engagement can be good for getting more views but the user experience is less enjoyable.
