Ah, Instagram—the digital stage where brunch pics and influencer selfies collide! But hold on to your avocado toast because things are getting wobbly in the IG world.

The FTC is back in the game, dusting off the good ole meme ‘Make Instagram Instagram again.’ This quirky phrase isn’t just a fun tagline; it’s a rallying cry for users who are seriously over the app’s continuous design shake-ups that seem less ‘creative’ and more like a game of Russian roulette with your feed.

Let’s rewind to 2022, when Instagram head honcho Adam Mosseri sat down for an interview with The Verge. He casually suggested that sometimes users grumble about changes—ya think?—but these tweaks are necessary to keep the Instagram ship sailing smoothly. After all, adapting is crucial for survival, like how the dinosaurs didn’t turn into birds (sorry, T-Rex!).

But here’s the kicker: while Mosseri insists connecting with friends is still top priority, users want their scroll to feel like a cozy hangout rather than navigating through endless reels of half-baked content. Seriously, how many times can we watch the ‘Four-step guide to making cold brew’ videos?

In the ever-evolving landscape of digital platforms, what happens next? Will Instagram regain its original charm, or is it doomed to forever be haunted by bad UI decisions? Grab your digital popcorn, folks, because the future of your favorite photo app hinges on this debate. And who knows? Maybe the next update will finally bring back that sweet, sweet chronological feed!

So, here’s your takeaway: do we really want Instagram to revert to its simpler self or should we embrace the constant state of change? *Discuss.*
