I paused by accident on a Jordan Peterson Instagram reel and now Meta thinks I’m some kind of incel. Showing me all sorts of misogynistic stuff.

It’s wild what people publish on the web.

@greg Honestly, this is one of the reasons I don’t like using TikTok or Instagram Reels…I’m just constantly aware of them paying attention to my micro-interactions and I get self-conscious that I’m training the algorithm with every move. I know it’s a similar situation with music apps and YouTube, but for whatever reason I feel like I’m in more control in those places.

@matt @greg its annoying. I wish they would all get rid of the algorithms. Let me control what I see and watch.

@greghiggins457 @greg I continue to bang the drum that YouTube is the GOAT for continuing to have a subscriptions page which is a perfect, reverse-chronological feed of what you’ve subscribed to and nothing else. I bookmark the subs page and never even see the home page unless I want to 🙂

@matt @greg Completely agree with this. It's the best way to view YouTube videos.

@matt yep. I wish there was a “crap I didn’t mean to pause on the video” button.
