In July, 180,000 people signed a petition protesting that Instagram's algorithms were making it harder for photos to be seen.

In January, Instagram CEO Adam Mosseri went out and said that it was a mistake to bet too hard on the video function reels in 2022, writes The Verge.

In recent weeks, reels have drawn fewer viewers, according to the site Adweek.

Sometimes up to 20 percent less, while photos are seen more, which was not appreciated by business owners who changed their content strategy towards moving images, something that is highlighted on Twitter.

Many photographers have felt despondent that their images have not been seen in the feed in recent years.

Swedish photographer Erik Johansson says that he has noticed more interactions on his photos in recent weeks, but that he has begun to tire of adapting to Instagram's algorithms.
