Instagram on Tuesday announced plans to dump chronological posts in favor of algorithmic recommendations. Users miss about 70 percent of the content that flows through their feeds, which the company attributed to its growth and its system for ordering content. The new algorithm, which will begin rolling out in the coming months, will weigh the content by relevancy to the user — the relationship an individual has with the poster. Everything still will be in the feeds but in a different order, the company stated.
This combined with the new 1-minute video upload feature should be interesting.
