@Caldero I've tried an extreme version of the route he's suggesting: a new fake id following profiles that directly impact my goals(This in itself sounds dubious given the shallowness of the medium which thus renders itself useless in providing any real value) and nothing else.

Anyway, I made the id and followed only followed people with, say, graphics design tips. Notifications off, app lock, the whole 9 yards of productivity.

After the honeymoon phase of "haha I did it, I cracked the code, I made IG my bitch, I watch 6hrs of design tips and not kylie jenner stories", you start to realize it's just you fooling yourself. You get pulled back into the zombie-consumer loop sooner or later. Design tips or semi transparent nips, it's all the same. The discover page is what makes it even more insidious since you can't curate it. It'll show you ass and memes no matter what(last I checked over a yr ago).

Keep in mind, all this is just symptomatic treatment while the root is never addressed. And we know how much of a hassle that is, so drop that shit entirely and move on. Don't even try. Make $$$ and hire social media 'managers' if need be

@GayLubeOil I think the overall feminization of west via media and entertainment as a branch of bourgeois economic hegemony is the more precise source of this kind of behaviour. This neurotic hypertalkative content-second stylized snarky sheldon cooper style of discourse is on the verge of going mainstream, if it hasnt already
