Curated feeds on IG: How does this impact building a following?

I am wondering how this change on Instagram will change the landscape of building a following? Any thoughts?

I think its to soon to tell. I bet it will be good for some bad for others. I think it might encourage people to share better content. That might be a positive.

I think , and I hope I am wrong, that it will kill the exposure for all the people with small following. Like mine. And I don't necessarily agree with you Martin Van Londen about posting better content. How will this algorithm know if my image is good if it won't be shown to anyone due to my low following / popularity rating?

I would have to guess the amount of views and actual comments will play a big deal in their new algorithms. So obviously if you search, look, engage with fitness photos you'll see more of fitness and it will maybe read off hashtags that are similar. People you follow don't post as much as Facebook. Also I am following like 3% in comparison to Facebook friends I have. So I don't see your actual feed changing much. Only the content inside that magnify glass.
