Hello!!
My name is Gwen, and I want to share all my crazy life stories, from love to adventure and even a little bit of horror. I have never told anyone any of these, so I think it might be fun to share them with you guys and get to know if you have...
I am writing it because it is something that just happened that has been running in my head since yesterday, and I want to let it out. The story is short (more incomplete than short, honestly), so I wouldn't publish it by itself because it's just like a sprinkle of a storytime compared to other ones. But... if this ever ends up being posted (spoiler past Gwen, it is), it means more has happened that has made it sort of a complete tale and that I have decided it is long enough for people to see.

The story goes as follows.
Last time I wrote about Zach in the "Expressing my final thoughts about Zach" entry, I mentioned that I found out he had gotten married because IG suggested I follow his account. Now, I will explain in more detail why I thought it was odd when this happened. Besides me having unfollowed him a while back, something that was odd to me was that the recommendation appeared, not where usual algorithm recommendations appear, but in the notification bar. I'll explain in more detail below. (Btw if your account appears in the following screenshots, sue Google... I took the pictures from there)

Usually, the algorithm will recommend new accounts in the following sections:

These suggestions are based on the famous algorithm and depend on who you follow and your interactions. If I start liking, idk, Eurovision posts, then the algorithm will suggest to me accounts of people who also like Eurovision posts or accounts dedicated to that topic. The same applies if I share a lot of, let's say, memes with my friend, then we will probably get suggestions of meme pages we each follow.
