Instagram Popular Page

What I’ve loved and at times gotten annoyed with Instagram is the lack of personalization.  What I do like about Instagram is that for the most part I can see what everyone I follow has posted and there is no algorithm blocking me from seeing what friends or brands I follow post. I don’t frequent the popular page within my Instagram app often, because when I do it usually features random teeny boppers taking selfies who somehow have tens of thousands of followers or superstars from a far off country that I am unfamiliar with. Generally, it’s a negative experience.  However, the other day, I tapped the Popular Page by accident, only to find quite a few photos I was actually interested in. To my surprise, one of the images that was of interest, only had 30 likes, which is strange as in the past, to end up on the Popular Page, a photo or video needed to have hundreds of thousands of likes which is usually reserved for the Beyoncés of the world.
