New Instagram feed

What does this mean?

Well the chronological order feed will soon be replaced by feed similar to that on Facebook, "best posts" first, and not to forget about the ad posts. 
This just brings out the question: What will this mean for the small scale Instagram accounts, how it will affect them, and does your feed as a not so popular Instagrammer gets you at the bottom of the Instagram feed? Does this means that the big accounts get even more likes than previous and the small ones even less than previous? 
My assumption is that, if you want to be "seen" on Instagram you must pay the ad.
For example my interest is first and foremost fashion that means that all the fashion posts will be first on the list. Next I regularly check Kristina Bazan on her feed (who doesn't right?she is amazing!), so her posts will be first on my feed and she will obviously get the like. But that does not mean that I don't want to check out and give a like to other small scale accounts that I obviously follow for a reason. If I don't want to see somebody's feed I won't follow it, it is that simple. If I want to see some particular feed and see if I had missed something for not checking the feed regularly I'll just do the search, I don't need Instagram to tell me whose feed I want to see and whose I don't. 
Last point, I don't spend more than 15 minutes at a time on Instagram so this "small" account will never get to be seen by me and get the attention it deserves.  Luckily the change will take some time and will happen gradually, so we still have some time left to do more quality feed so we won't get pushed out but the big shots.
Have you heard about this yet? Please share your thoughts on this.

New Instagram feed


  1. I am such an IG browser. I usually browse until I reach the end of the feed. I love the chronological order and think this new format will be very bad for smaller IG accounts. If I'm following someone, it's because I want to see their content and I'm afraid smaller accounts will get obscured by bigger accounts in my feed.

  2. I'm the same, an IG browser. I really wish a lot of sm company leave their feed alone.
