2016 was the last year that Instagram feeds were full of only our actual friends' posts, before the algorithm changed to what Instagram "thought we wanted to see" (i.e. ads that they could monetize). It was the last year of pre-algorithm social media. Sigh. It's only been 10 years and it feels like a lifetime.
