needs to change back more so how it used to be. – Instagram Review

i’m a teenage artist and have had instagram since early 2020 and got quite a bit of support of my art mainly starting at July-August 2020. a lot of peoples art used to get on my page and my idols used to be on there often but now i barely get to see their posts. instagram is also copied off of the tik tok algorithm and started the trend of “reels” for more reasons for people to use the app. i just got out of a child phase that i was in for 2 years(not going to name what it is), and am now interested in restarting and doing fanart instead so i unfollowed a lot of people(was following around 637 and it went down to 448), then a notification popped up saying “we limit how often you can do certain things on instagram, like unfollowing people, to protect our community”. but i tried scrolling through my page and tried to like one of my friends post on the same account and a slightly different message popped up saying, “we limit how often you can do certain things on instagram, like liking, to protect our community”. i have things to do in my life even if i’m a “child” and i can’t go back to my phone every few hours to check and see if i’m allowed to do crap that i didn’t even have to worry about a few months ago, i don’t spam like, i don’t go around following every account i see, and i’m not trying to leave instagram(even though people should be allowed to if they want to and it doesn’t say “delete account” anywhere). i’m just trying to grow up and get out of a childhood phase, am i not allowed to do that? people are also repeatedly stealing others photos, art, products, etc and instagram is doing nothing about it including adding a report button for the topic. to be a “celebrity or public figure” you have to be verified too? most of my idols are not verified on instagram but they have over 2 million followers and a lot more supporters on other platforms such as twitter, twitch, youtube, etc. i hope a physical person actually reads these reveiws through instead of skimming through them and change stuff that will make people enjoy the app again. but what do i know?- i’m just a kid.
