Good Guys Secrets of the Algorithm with Instagram's Adam Mosseri
Mazel morons! This week, we’re joined by the Head of Instagram himself, Adam Mosseri, for a revealing, hilarious, and surprisingly heartfelt breakdown of how IG actually works. We ask every question you’ve ever yelled into the void: Is shadow banning real? Why did your reach plummet overnight? Does the algorithm have feelings? And yes- where the hell is it even stored?
Adam explains the truth about Reels, why funny content still crushes, how political posts tank engagement, and what keeps him up at night running a platform with 3 billion users. We also get into parenting, screen-time drama, spy-theory paranoia between social platforms, creator perks, Zuckerberg’s chain era, and MORE. If you’ve ever posted, doom-scrolled, obsessed over insights, or cursed the algorithm… this episode is for you. If not… what are ya, nuts? Love ya!
