They must be stopped.

I use Instagram and don't see them. Trick is to not scroll through the explore page or whatever it's called.

Divide a dollar for every single time I’ve seen that sage cattabriga alosa video where he drops into that deep run through the trees (I KNOW you know what I’m talking about) I could buy a condo in New York

If those kinda vids are always popping up in your explore page u can hit "not interested" and they'll hopefully go away

Tiktok has completely fucking ruined Instagram.
Firstly directly - as Instagram desperately and shamelessly rips-off all of their competitors, creating reels etc (basically tiktok's USP).
And secondly indirectly - by the absolute mutants that create shit tiktok videos and then copy and paste them to Instagram...

no matter how many times i hit 'not interested' my friends who barely ski send these clips to me thinking they are sick clips so they always end up back in my feed.

I’m pretty confident I’ve seen every single zeb Powell clip ever. Also seen that Noah clip on that ice luge thing probably 500 times. I would complain but sometimes it’s actually dope clips so I don’t really care

Sometimes good clips are being reposted but even when it’s a good clip it’s some Bot page with broken English not crediting the athlete or filmer with a totally bullshit spammy description and a link to their bullshit merch.

the tiktokification of the world has ruined insta. Instagram has always been cringe but still a good platform for artists and creators…. Now it’s all this bot spam bullshit. And Facebook is making it even more trashy with the explore feed….. I unfollowed almost everything so I wouldn’t spend as much time scrolling so now they just made it impossible To get to the bottom of your feed and filled it w meme bot trash

Owen himself reposts clips from two years ago on the diving board approximately twice a week, so the repost bots always pick them up over and over and over again. Inescapable.

The skiing-related content online is so low-quality even when it's not bot accounts it honestly makes me a lil ashamed that skiing is such a large part of my life lol. Cus if real people are scraping the bottom of the barrel on ski-related content, wtf am I doing?
like half the stuff I see is some dork on a chairlift voicing over a sound it's so bad

I wish pro skiers would post content on Newschoolers more often instead of Instagram. Insta is really just not the place for ski content. Bring the traffic to NS

Had a friend who only cared about getting clips so he could post them on Snapchat or instagram. It gets old and sucks the fun out of riding just for the sake of riding.

Oh and pretty sure that “explore” page is designed to waste as much of your time as possible and turn your attention span into that of a goldfish
