It’s quite traumatic to see. It’s the reason I don’t use these social media apps anymore. They’re all suggested posts and it’s an assault. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 6 child comments replies: [–] dgriffith@aussie.zone 11 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago) (1 child) Algorithm shows a preview of a chaotic scene where the content isn't easily identified. You open / interact / linger on it to figure out what is happening before identifying it as something you don't want to look at. Algorithm detects increased interaction and happily serves up more. I play a little game with Instagram sometimes. I click on one (1) thirst trap bikini girl post in the search reel. Then I see how many times I have to press the little 3 dot menu and pick "not interested" on allllll the other thirst trap bikini girl posts that immediately appear. I generally have to press "not interested" about 15 times before my feed reverts to only having bikini girl thirst traps once every 20 or so posts. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] JackbyDev@programming.dev 3 points 11 months ago (1 child) I used to get sucked in by cop videos on TikTok. I think it's the curiosity. I hated it. I'd get shown so many. I didn't enjoy watching them. I thought a lot about what's happening and I really think it's just the initial hook of "what's happening here???" because there's a cop. I had to actively scroll away as fast as possible every time I saw them to get that shit away. I finally did, but it was rough. It's easy to fall into traps like that with social media algorithms. They aren't meant to maximize your enjoyment, they're meant to maximize your retention, engagement, and spending. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 3 points 11 months ago* im glad i dont have an app of tiktok, i just randomly click on pet/animal videos that link to someones account(mostly from DODO videos), but i close it after a few seconds because im not interested. permalink fedilink source parent [–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 4 points 11 months ago* FB is known for doing this, plus thier obvious propaganda, they want engagement so any drama they can randomly push will increase that.
