@MasonPeterman It’s a cool concept! I would definitely try it and I’m sure it would eliminate a lot of wasted time trying to decide which episode of Friends to rewatch #IS6621
Instagram was working on an internal prototype of a design change that has the potential to massively impact users' well-being. If rolled out, it might encourage more authentic content creation, rather than focusing on "likes" #IS6621 https://t.co/qQv8KcVvPG
