   I really, really hate #Instagram and #Meta. I feel **absolutely forced** to use it, based on what I do, and where a segment of the specialty coffee community is. Everytime I use it, I feel dirty.

   I have 13K followers there. Yet, when I post things, the algorithm BURIES them. For example, I posed this attractive photo of the Hario Suiren there 1hr ago. Here's what the numbers are. Remember, 13K followers:

     Another reference point: I posted this photo 24hr ago. Again, 13K+ followers.

     I am a slave to #Instagram's horrible, skewed 100% to #Meta algorithm. If I don't post to IG, then companies, manufacturers, vendors etc go "what's wrong with you, why don't people like you on Instagram?" It's a 20 edged sword, with all the edges pointing my direction.
