Angry GPT Season 2 Episode 2

Welcome to the filtered reality of Instagram —

 where the Terms of Service are long, but the social rules are longer. 

In this episode, we break down the official, buried-in-fine-print policies that govern your posts, likes, and DMs — and the unspoken laws that shape your online persona. 

From shadowbans and algorithm hacks to “like etiquette,” fake flexing, and the silent pressure to post perfection, 

we decode how Instagram controls behavior — officially and socially. Is it performance, branding, or just survival?


We’ll explore:

•How Instagram actually moderates content vs. how users think it does

•The rise of aesthetic conformity and the “main character” syndrome

•The psychological cost of curation and comparison

•Why your follower count might be more illusion than influence

•And the etiquette of Story-watching, ghosting, and unfollowing


Whether you’re a lurker, a thirst trap artist, or a close friends confessor, this episode pulls back the velvet filter.

Spoiler: You’ve been conditioned, and you’re not even getting paid.
