Got asked to take an Instagram survey there. Obviously I was not kind. But this question really stood out. It looks to be basically an admission that they are the arbitors of the number of followers you amas. I don't give a monkey's personally but lots of people are very invested in the platform.

It's absolutely clear to me that most content creators on the platform believe that they have an equal shot of going viral when that is clearly not the case. For many people in developing countries the investment of time, effort and cost they put into doing so is significant. This is rotten.

I particularly feel this for Cubans on the island where it is very popular because they are exposed to all the toxicity of the algorithms but are basically excluded from whatever commercial benefits it might have for some.
