#I HATE THE ALGORITHM SHIT

[herefortheships]

Hey Tumblr (and subsequently, all other social media while we're at it), I don't want to see these "recommended" posts "for you" posts or "based on your interests" posts or whatever the fuck. I want to see posts from people I FOLLOW.

I had no problem finding new blogs to follow on my own before the "for you" and "recommended" posts became a thing. I would read additions to reblogs, I would go to the tag page of whatever I'm interested in finding blogs to follow about (like I'd go to the Destiel tag, for example, and read around for interesting posts and then check out those blogs and decide if I want to hit "follow"). That's how I decided if I wanted to follow someone or not.

Just because I liked a post about... say, a political figure or a dog or whatever, doesn't mean I want to see politics crap or cute dogs all over the place as I scroll just because I liked that one post.

It is so unbelievably frustrating how the algorithm timeline keeps defaulting in a place that has been free of algo bullshit for so long. I cannot tell if it’s a glitch or if they’re just pushing it intentionally. It’s at least easy to go back to the following feed, but with bluesky users more and more depending on the discover feed and tumblr defaulting to the algorithm timeline it just feels like ‘be twitter’ is the shitty destiny being pushed everywhere.

Important video anyone should give a watch:

YouTube is so damn biased towards alpha male content I keep getting it recommended to me even though I click "not interested" every single time I see this shit

I was wondering what the actual fuck, why am I getting it if it's nowhere close to what I usually watch and I do an extra step of saying "not interested" when I see it

I have a theory why

I have gender set to male in my profile

YouTube might be rigged in such an absolutely fucked up way based on this profile setting alone

If anyone here use YouTube a lot from a profile with gender set to male, does it happen to you as well?

I just went to get my camera fixed and this girl came in telling the guy that she needed this particular lense bc that's what chatgpt told her to use and the guy was like listen this lense doesn't fit you camera you need a different one and like she's fighting with him that gpt told her she needed this one so that's what she wants to get. idiot doesn't even understand the difference between and adapter and lense and refuses to listen to the guy who knows a thing or two about what he talks about

Tumblr's algorithm function has begun recommending me lesbian hornyposting and erotica. So I guess it does work actually.

[funforahermit]

what are these supposed "life hack" videos on instagram; it's just dumb shit that saves no apparent purpose and you kind of watch till the end to see if there's gonna be a point to it but there never is??

AI relies on stolen material. Using it is unethical. And using it write fics is really fucked up even if AO3 allows it.

that essay genuinely changed the way i viewed stan as a charcter in the most positive way possible im in awe at the amount of media literacy you have

*taps on the blog title* well it does say "sideblog to interact" so I better interact hadn't I?

Why is tumblr so unusable on desktop?

To get to my mutuals' posts I have to scroll a bunch of recommended tags/"because you follow #[X]" and shit even when I use XKit. I want it to stop.

ive been on twitter too much, this is true, but im actually really tired of "tony fumbled jade" cuz i feel like ive been seeing more of it lately—yeah no this is a twitter thing but i refuse to tweet now. but my point is that like. no he didn't. she was always gonna go to wwe. she wanted to go to wwe, they fucked up and said no, she went to aew, did the work, made herself one of the biggest names in wrestling and proved that they were idiots, and now they want her. like. there's pros and cons to both, obvs, and as of now, wwe has more connections for bigger outside of wrestling opportunities. clearly she doesn't need the money, cuz we know tk is willing to outbid wwe. it wasn't a fumble, she was always gonna leave.

moral of the story: i should stay off twitter cuz i feel like we here mostly get it by now cuz we talk to each other more and our disc course is different. but still.
