Have you ever wondered how to change your Instagram algorithm so you see more of what you actually care about?

This is especially useful when your Reels feed starts filling up with topics you don’t remember asking for. Maybe Instagram…

And if you keep accepting those first answers, ChatGPT doesn’t get much help understanding what you really want. In this video, I show you how to get better results from ChatGPT by giving it clearer direction before…
