Instagram is tightening the leash. The latest algorithm update is a direct attack on shared content. Meta wants to ensure that nothing moves through the app unless it originates from a primary source. This is not about quality. This is about control.

The platform is effectively killing the curator. If you find something worth sharing, the algorithm will ensure nobody sees it. It is a deliberate move to starve the reach of reposted posts. Users are being forced into a meat grinder of constant original production.

The decay is evident.

• The death of the digital curator.
• The suppression of shared information.
• The forced exhaustion of creators.

The era of easy circulation is over. We are just being forced to feed the machine more frequently.
