What content you should consume
A lot of artists are disappointed with some of the recent changes at Instagram. The algorithm has evolved, as they always do, and some artists are having trouble seeing the engagement that they used to.

In today’s article we’re going to talk about what content you should consume on Instagram from your art business account, because, believe it or not - it matters.
OK, let’s go!
Watch what you watch
The algorithm can be a double edged sword, because it considers what you post AND what you consume. It considers who you follow AND who follows you.
For example, let’s say that you are logged into Instagram with your art business account and you start watching a ton of really cute animal videos. Who can blame you for wanting to see cute kittens? Except that, now the algorithm is going to think that you really love cats.
