@sun im 6 minutes in and this video topic it has proposed is something i often find myself thinking about, but not in the meta analysis way but the

"this website is really pissing me off, i want content Y but im being served content Z. I dont visit this for content Z!"

twitter for example
i WANT to use it for content to aquire but it is actually impossible to curate what i get to see. unless i use my VERY old account which follows a few accounts and has liked almost no posts, that shows 100% things i want. which is really weird. A new account, with more things liked and more things followed, all only in the same vein as my old account (mostly same accounts even), shows maybe only 25% of the content i want to see, the rest is "other undesireable", often being ragebait/politics/wooow look at this amazing russian bear in a zoo or other view-bait-content. I have yet to succeed in breaking into browsing twitter over the course of how many years, and it keeps getting harder.

What the fuck is that?

On youtube its quite similar today, there's the 10% ok reccomendations, 20% old seen-videos recommendations, 20% low-views reccs, and 50% "what the fuck is this shit", no matter how many hundred times i click the "do not show me content like this" on the hundreds of videos

The shorts section of youtube has pissed me off so much ive permanently Element_Hide all shorts website elements from youtube, and i still actively delete those elements whenever they repop up again

They keep putting them in new places and more of them!

Ive been often mad at this type of malicious feed manipulation, but ive rarely (if ever?) thought about the continuing implications of each one of these malicious moves every time i block a new element of the websites. i hope this video comments on this thing i havent thought about.
