Oh my Instagram recommendations on the search page used to just be full of drag queens and men in their pants (two categories of account I've never followed) so there must indeed by some sort of GAY category it puts people in.
 
I had to manually tell Instagram to unfollow “gay” :D

If I want to see hot guys I don’t know, I’ll watch porn?

Not so much advertising but find it annoying that because I follow a few GAY INTEREST accounts Instagram and twitter think I want to be inundated with perfect looking men posting THIRST TRAPS.

It was frightening how quickly Tik Tok was able to tell that I was a Eurovision Gaymer that loves cats and the occasional musical theatre/disney moment.

HOW? I've managed to train the app to show me Catalan Modernisme all the time instead of tanned men, but my discover page, it's still all SHREDDED HUNKS.

Oh I meant in my news feed. I don’t use the discover page ever. It said something like “topic: gay” and I clicked on that and then unfollow
 
I tend to get shit bands and musical equipment on Instagram.
 
I got an ad for “The United Kingdom” on Twitter this week
 
I’m having an “I hate social media” day. My suggested posts on Instagram were just - in order - a stunning attractive man trying to be humble about how hard it is to find dates, an advert for a weight loss app, a recipe for a Kinder chocolate cheesecake, and an abs workout clip. M

No wonder I hate myself

I think it is part of my shitty morning routine of waking up, and wasting about an hour on my phone looking at rubbish on social media. I’m not an idiot but I can’t seem to NOT

I think social media is better if you just follow people you know, or at least know of

For Instagram, that IS all I do - but it's constantly trying to fling new content at you, whether it's ads sandwiched between every other Story, or the suggested posts that appear seamlessly underneath your followed accounts' content
 
I saw an advert for a TV show about Primark yesterday where they said their strategy was to never advertise, and I've been followed around the internet by digital ads for Primark ever since.
