I was very happy to learn that I could "Snooze suggested posts" for 30 days. That we can't disable them is, well, perhaps predatory, but here's how to do it.
There's an X at the top-right of any suggested post. If you click it, an option appears to snooze those posts for 30d.
Mosseri is right to be concerned about supporting creator-discovery, which is a huge problem on the supply-side of IG's creator/consumer marketplace. If suggested posts were only a few percent of posts and didn't favor eye-catching Reels, but rather content in the same spirit as a user already follows, quality content could again rise to the top.
