I feel like if someone is a human turd sandwich, there is some moral obligation to disinvite them from social media platforms. At the very least, stop recommending them to people.<\/p>\n

"But that would be tampering with The Algorithm!"–My dudes, you tamper with The Algorithm on the regular. That’s why that POS is able to pay you money and end up on everyone’s For You feed. Don’t bullshit me.<\/p>\n

If the algorithm was really fair, Those People would not be popping up on everyone’s feed in the first place. People would be able to give a Dislike, and your algorithm wouldn’t take all that loathing and use it to boost that POS rather than giving them a negative rating.<\/p>\n

The Algorithm boosts garbage, people are recommended that garbage so they glance at it, and then The Algorithm boosts the garbage more because so many people looked at it. Your algorithm is broken. You need to fix your filters.<\/p>\n

Like, YouTube: I wanted to know what movies were coming in the future, so I watched some upcoming trailers.<\/p>\n

Then SOMEHOW The Algorithm started suggesting trailers for movies THAT AREN’T REAL<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Trailers created with AI for "upcoming movies" that are never going to be made. And I get that there’s satire and fair use and all other kinds of reasons why it’s okay to use real actors’ names and faces and voices without their permission for fake movies… But when I’m on the YouTube home page I can’t read the video descriptions on my TV. All I get are the titles and the thumbnails.<\/p>\n

So I watched like four trailers for fake movies and I was getting ANGRY that all the upcoming movies suck so bad<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Fix your algorithms, people.<\/p>\n
