Do the following patterns change over time on Instagram?
While taking a break from work recently, I ended up scrolling through one of my older social media accounts and noticed something unexpected, the people and pages I chose to follow several years ago were completely different from the ones that appear in my recent activity today, back then I was mostly interested in gaming and entertainment, but now my feed is filled with industry news, educational content, and travel inspiration, It made me think about how online behavior quietly evolves as our priorities and interests change, sometimes those changes happen so gradually that we barely notice them until we look back, that got me wondering whether tools like recentlyfollowed can help identify meaningful shifts in interests and online habits, or if following activity is simply too random to reflect what someone genuinely cares about at any given time.
