\nHow many of us six years ago had no idea about selfies or \u201cthrowback Thursdays,\u201d or how to gain a behind-the-scenes peek of the fashion world? These days things are a different and most of those changes are largely due to the success of the photo-sharing app Instagram. In the mere six years of its existence, the network has grown into users\u2019 everyday routines, even managing to become the fashion industry\u2019s chief social media platform, with thousands of brands now integrating an online presence into their strategies.
\nFounded in 2010, Instagram has continued to stay true to its initial principles for the most part. That is at least, until recently. Recently the social network declared it would begin testing a soon-to-be implemented algorithmic policy regarding how images are shown to its users. Meaning, in the future the photo-sharing app will select potentially interesting images, and only these will eventually find their way into our newsfeed. And what about the rest? The algorithm will drown posts deemed hopelessly unpopular towards the bottom depths of users\u2019 feeds.
\nThe parameters registered by the program are quite basic ones. It judges by the colours, giving preference to warm tones\u00a0over cold and dismissing pictures containing images that are likely to “cause negative associations.\u201d
