When I used Facebook I was spammed these "people falling and hurt themself" or car accident videos.
I hate those videos but I got more and more. I think it was because I stopped scrolling and tried to figure out what user was posting those to mute them which the algorithm maybe counted as "engagement".
Or maybe I was more likely to stop scroll the feed and switch tab when those came up, which maybe also counted as engagement.
Etc.
I don't think the algorithm can distinguish like and distaste that good.
