    I think it depends on how often you visit or refresh as well.

    I went to Instagram thirty minutes ago and 18/20 items were things I follow. Only two were any kind of ad. I counted because I’m genuinely curious. That’s 90% stuff I have intentionally followed.

    Then, to repeat the experiment I refreshed. ~24/30 were things I wanted to see.

    The more I refreshed, the more ads showed up. This last time was 18/30 were things I have followed, or 60%.

    Which kind of puts a spotlight on how people might use this type of app.
