Does IG have a new algorithm or something or is it just me? What's up with all these lurkers?

[you're NOT "n!ggas"]

Who else is experiencing it? I went from my real life brehs and brehettes watching my stories to all these random ass muhfukkas lurkin some are blue checks, some are women I'd feel morally obligated to nut in, some are C suite executives at major platforms...


Some lurk consistently But they won't follow me. I can't tell if they're actually watching or if it's some other shyt.

On the discover tab, they added random stories along with accounts that people you follow are following.

Your stories might pop up in that section.

Instagram is extremely messed up right now. I’m getting low likes one day then the next is high likes but from randoms like you said. I have no clue what’s going on.

Yea same thing happened to me lately too

Ive had some high level executives liking my shyt recently

I was joking with my boys about it, thought I was on the illuminati radar or something

As a artist working on my craft it’s kind of cool to see some names like that...but it also makes me not want to post lil snippets and shyt imagine hearing your lines in one of those people songs

I knew something was up when my stories were getting more views than I have followers
