It looks like Instagram's algorithm systematically boosts semi-nude pictures

Instagram's algorithm is more likely to place topless pictures higher in users' news feeds than other photos, according to researchers at Algorithm Watch.

Over that period, 21% of photos from the selected creator accounts contained a shirtless person In the volunteers' feeds however, these pictures made up 30% of all posts from those accounts. "We cannot prove causation, there is no amount of data that could prove that," Nicholas Kayser-Bril, one of the paper's authors. "The only way to know exactly how this works would be to have an audit of exactly what's going on inside Facebook's servers, and there is no way we will be able to do that in the current legal environment."

But whether the algorithm can spot skin in pictures or it's just picking up on a correlation, the effect on people using Instagram to make a living is the same.

One explanation could be simply that other users are engaging with these pictures more, prompting the algorithm to place them higher in people’s feeds. If you and others “like” a photo more, it’s potentially more likely to appear higher in other people’s feeds.

No! Really?

Been wondering why it's so. Any reason in particular?🤔

I'm shocked
