Isn't IG's algorithm "determined by the people"? The more engagement (views/likes/comments, etc.) the more the content is shown to other users. Plus its even smarter by customizing the recommendations to your personal preferences (e.g. if you heart a fitness pic, the algorithm will recommend more fitness pics).
Its frustrating to me seeing people being angry at {social media}'s content recommendation engine. The reason why all these companies have this algorithms is cuz they work... At worst, you're re-inventing a less efficient wheel and at best, you do what Twitter, TikTok, Facebook, Youtube, etc. all realized is a better user experience (the one you're trying to replace).
