Digital footprints are like an open book if you know where to look. Is it even possible to keep your new interests private when every 'follow' you make is technically a public signal to the rest of the world?
We all go through phases where we follow a bunch of accounts related to a new hobby or a sudden obsession. The problem is that the feed doesn't always show these changes in a way that makes sense. If you look at the recent followers instagram list on a profile, you can usually spot the exact moment someone’s vibe started to shift. It’s like watching a person’s interests evolve in real-time, which is honestly quite fascinating to observe from the sidelines.
