#547 Instagram: Time, Money and the Algorithm Trap

from Learn Polish Hosted by Roy Coughlan

Welcome to Learn Polish Podcast. In this episode we dive into Instagram’s evolution from a photo-sharing app to a reels-driven, ad-filled platform — exploring algorithms, bots, influencer culture, and how social media turns time into money. We discuss manipulation, signs you’re spending too much time online, the benefits and pitfalls for business and podcasting, and practical tips for a social media detox. Find all episodes at learnpolishpodcast.com and on Bitchute, YouTube, Rumble and Spotify.
