The video is a vlog by Sophia where she buys an entire outfit from Instagram sponsored posts. She explains that she has previously tested ad algorithms on Instagram and other social media platforms to see how well they know her and how effective their product recommendations are. This time, she decides to focus specifically on clothing, given her extensive following of makeup and clothing brands on Instagram.
Sophia mentions that Instagram ads are relatively expensive, and she caps each item at $100. She also mentions that her ads are served sparingly, which means it will probably take her a couple of weeks to buy the entire outfit.
She mentions a few purchases she made based on Instagram ads, including a pair of jeans from Revised Denim, a retro graphic tee from Life Clothing, and a jacket from Straight to Hell Apparel. She also bought a pair of boots from ModCloth and some earrings from Moonstar Planet.
Sophia expresses her satisfaction with the outfit, especially the jacket, but notes that she wouldn't necessarily recommend the jeans due to the shipping calamity she experienced. She also mentions that she feels a bit bad that the companies she follows on Instagram showed her ads.
She concludes by expressing her suspicion that Instagram was looking at some of the things she was searching for on other platforms and also potentially looking at her through a webcam. She suggests that if Instagram is going to follow her around the internet and potentially look at her through a webcam, their ads could be more specific.
