Ya pretty much double-edge sword
On one hand, Instagram users can bring a ton of content, which "should" be good for the overall website
On the other, it's Meta lol
If I wanted all of the Instagram content I would be on Instagram. I don't want all of that content cluttering up another space and overwhelming another space.
The difference is here you can manage your own feed and pick and choose. Many folks don't want metas apps on their device but wouldn't mind some of the content. Folks that don't want it don't have to sub but those that do can benefit second hand.
I don't want Instagram content here! If I wanted Instagram-TikTok-type content I'd be there not here. I hope that crap stays away.
And yes, it's Meta lol
Nobody wants Meta's manipulated content. Let's not forget why we call them Meta.
